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."--
