Editorial Reviews

"Reminiscent of Mo Willems’ Pigeon and Elephant & Piggie books . . . Little readers will enjoy being in on the joke (this is clearly the Easter Bunny) and the playful back and forth. The book lends itself well to a lap-sit read-aloud; adult readers will enjoy adopting different voices for the narrator and the bunny. The cartoonish illustrations and cheeky dialogue give this tale plenty of personality and zest. A story starring a funny and argumentative bunny that makes for a read-aloud gigglefest." —Kirkus reviews

From the Publisher

2023-11-18
Despite clues to the contrary, this little white rabbit insists that he is not the Easter Bunny.

White fur and cottontail, cute bow tie and vest, and a basket of painted eggs: Must be the Easter Bunny! But this determined rabbit refuses to admit that he’s the famous holiday hopper. In a style reminiscent of Mo Willems’ Pigeon and Elephant & Piggie books, McBeth’s rabbit directly addresses an unseen narrator; the bunny’s dialogue is presented in speech bubbles. When the narrator asks about the bow tie, the bunny explains that it “was a gift from my grandmother, thank you very much!” And when the narrator observes the rabbit “hopping! Just like the Easter Bunny!” the bunny responds, “Well, I don’t have a car! And my bus pass is in my other vest!” Kids follow along as the bunny gets dressed, goes to the store, and purchases eggs and sweets. Little readers will enjoy being in on the joke (this is clearly the Easter Bunny) and the playful back and forth. The book lends itself well to a lap-sit read-aloud; adult readers will enjoy adopting different voices for the narrator and the bunny. The final reveal shows the bunny dragging an enormous “Happy Easter!” basket piled high with decorated eggs. The cartoonish illustrations and cheeky dialogue give this tale plenty of personality and zest.

A story starring a funny and argumentative bunny that makes for a read-aloud gigglefest. (Picture book. 3-6)
