Happy Easter!

April 8, 2007 /

Happy Easter to all of my Easter Celebrating friends! Whether you celebrate the Resurrection as part of your faith, or the return of spring, as symbolized by bunnies and eggs, I hope you have a wonderful day, and have some chocolate. 😉

This is my favorite Easter book, bar none. It’s about the Country Bunny, who wants to try out to be an Easter Bunny, but as she is a single mom, the old Easter Bunny doesn’t think she will be able to manage. But, like good single moms everywhere, she has taught her little bunnies to do all of the chores around the house, which they demonstrate by cleaning, cooking, washing, painting pictures, making music, all of the things that make a home comfy, freeing her to bring the most special Easter Egg to a little sick boy. Highly recommended to those of you with young children of picture book age.

    Thanks, J! Happy Easter to you, too! I had a great day. 🙂

    Yesterday, I was walking in a park and saw three cotton tail rabbits! It was as if they knew it was Easter weekend and they showed up on cue!

    Amy, So nice to hear from you. 🙂 I hope your kids loved the book, and that your renovation is going well!

    Beenzzz, it’s a very cute book.

    Starshine, that’s cool that you saw bunnies. How cute!

    Hello Melissa, yes, I love the soft colors, and I too remember the book from childhood. 🙂

    ML, happy easter to you, too!

    Shelliza, I think Connor would love this book. I didn’t see it on our local B&N Easter/Passover display, but it’s available on Amazon.

    Samibear, I think that the old bunny thought a husband would be able to stay home with the children and cook and clean while she was off delivering eggs. He was worried that they weren’t prepared to care for themselves and the house, but she showed him how ready they were. It was sweet.
