Customer Reviews

Excellent use of imagination to teach valuable truths!

What a joy this book is! My children, including my teenagers, were enthralled with the story, it's meaning and the lovely illustrations. It reminds me so much of the 'picture books' of my childhood. Dale Smith is an incredible children's author, as proven by his other books, Over is Not Up and Night Time at the Zoo. His illistrators are of the finest quality. The collaboration with Pat Day-Bivins makes this a great book for all ages. What a message! We will enjoy this book for years to come.

A great story of loyalty, compassion and family ties.

My first impression was what a lovely book! Then to discover that the story led me into another one with which I was very familiar and loved. I felt comfortable with this and was able, through the small rabbit, to become a part of the story. I also found that the rabbit family exhibited strength in their loyality to one another. In this time of broken families becoming more the norm, I loved enforcing family bonds to my grandchildren through this delightful and beautiful story. Both the story and the lovely paintings will be enjoyed in our home for years to come!

The Real Easter Bunny

The story told in this children's book will become the story told at Easter as to how the Easter Bunny and the true meaning of Easter are now one. I purchased this book for my grandchildren. I have read many children's book but none compare to this book. I am an artist and the illustrations are beautiful. Each picture looks like the original oil painting. In fact I had to touch the page to make sure it was not canvas. The story is beautiful and gives children and adults a story they will never forget. When I received my book, I could not believe the quality of the book. It truely is a coffee table book. In my family, this book will be passed down to other generations. It truely is a classic. I cannot recommend it enough to all families.

Bringing the "Easter Bunny" and Easter into its true meaning

One of the most enjoyable children's books that I have purchased for my children. As I read the book, it was as meaningful for me, the parent, as it was my child. This is a book that will become a classic.
