Best Easter Story Ever

This book has been my little girls favorite every Easter. She loves the story. We read it the night before Easter and then the next morning she is super excited. It just isn't Easter without this book.

The Story of the Easter Bunny

I read this book at Easter time for many years to my Brownie/Girl Scout troup. The girls never got tired of hearing the story, and actually looked forward to it every year, even as they got older. It is a wonderful story about compassion, respect, and overcoming odds to achieve something wonderful. A very fitting story for this time of year...it is full of simple truths about the power of having faith.

On My Top 10 List

This is a touching, gentle story of how a simple, over-looked bunny with a deformed paw gets to be the new Easter Bunny. The bunnies of Rabbit Hill are "tested" by a stranger who comes to them mysteriously in the night during a cold winter's storm. All the other bunnies reject him, but Early treats him kindly and earns the right to be the new Easter Bunny. Not only is the story wonderfully written, but the illustrations are beautifully drawn with lots of details. I'm a first grade teacher and have read thousands of books in my long career. This one rates in my top 10 for all time. I'm saddened to hear that it's out of print at this time. Barbara Martinez
