A must-have for fans of Bunnies on the Bus, Bunnies in a Boat, and Bunnies in a Sleigh, as well as for brave space explorers!

The Sunny Town bunnies are BACK! They've been on a bus, in a boat, on Santa's sleigh, and now, in their greatest and most epic adventure yet, they are going to ... THE MOON! They've snuck their way onto a rocket that’s ready to launch and, in no time at all, they are streaking across the sky, through the atmosphere, and into outer space.

What will happen when they reach the Moon? HOW will they ever get back home again? And could a trip to Mars be on the cards?

It’s one small step for a human but one giant LEAP for bunnykind in this fantastic, cosmic adventure brimming over with hilariously wild space bunny fun from dream team Philip Ardagh and Ben Mantle. Packed to the brim throughout with hilarious details to spot – space walks, carrot-shaped aliens, and moon-rock souvenirs galore – this is one book that will be pulled off the shelf, time and time again.
