520 "A funny, quirky picture book based on a little-known
historical event -- and an introduction to one of
history's most notable figures, Napoleon Bonaparte.
Napoleon Bonaparte's most crushing defeat is widely
thought to have been at the Battle of Waterloo -- but have
you heard about that time he was defeated by a horde of
cute, fluffy bunnies? We call it Bunnyloo. It was the
summer of 1807, after Napoleon and Tsar Alexander of
Russia signed a treaty to end war between their two
empires. Napoleon decided to celebrate with a rabbit hunt.
His chief-of-staff, Louis-Alexandre, gathered as many
rabbits as he could -- but got one crucial detail wrong.
The rabbits he gathered were domesticated rabbits, so
accustomed to human contact that they didn't scatter as
expected -- they hopped towards Napoleon and his cohorts.
The men shooed, swung and swatted, but it was no use. They
were surrounded. When the rabbits started climbing up his
legs and onto his hunting jacket, Napoleon became quite
shaken, jumped back into his carriage and fled. Napoleon
was a tough customer. He had ridden straight into cannon
fire without a second thought. But everyone is scared of
something -- even the bravest of the brave -- and it seems
that for His Imperial and Royal Majesty, that "something"
was the bunnies. The last page of the book will be a note
with more information about Napoleon, and what we know
about the ill-fated rabbit hunt. Research tells us that
this event really did happen, and that Napoleon -- though
amused at first -- really did abandon the hunt when he
realized the rabbits were not going to retreat."--
