FIRST, BE AWARE that I wrote this review based on the earlier edition from 1958 (third printing) with illustrations by Adrienne Adams. I haven't seen this newer edition of the same story, but from the cover, I was disappointed, because the illustrations by Adrianne Adams is half of what makes this book so beautiful and memorable.
I found a used copy of this book and fell in love with it. The illustrations by Adrienne Adams are half of what makes this book so incredibly precious. It's one of those little storybooks that you will probably want to keep and pass on as an heirloom.
The story begins with the Easter Bunny sound asleep in his warm burrow "dreaming of Easter and the brightly painted eggs that he was going to bring all the children." But Easter comes, it's raining a lot, and bunny sleeps until May, when he wakes up thinking it's Easter, puts on his Easter clothes and hops off with his Easter basket through the woods (adorable pictures) to a house with a family eating chocolates, but he finds out it's Mother's Day, and everywhere he goes to deliver his eggs, people tell him it's too late for Easter and scold him for being so late to bring their eggs.
The Easter Bunny goes back to his burrow and decides to be a 4th of July Bunny and paint his eggs red, white, and blue, and put on a patriotic outfit and then goes out to join a 4th of July parade when it rolls around, but the parade gets stopped by an officer who tells the bunny crossly that July 4th is "no time for eggs!", and nobody is interested in the bunny's red white and blue eggs.
The Easter Bunny goes back to his burrow and fell asleep again for a long time until he got woken up on Halloween by some trick or treaters. The Easter Bunny tries to give his guests some July 4th eggs and then explains that they are really Easter eggs, but realizes that nobody wants his eggs on Halloween.
Suddenly, a big wind picks up and blows the Easter Bunny to Santa's house and Santa invites him inside and Santa hears Bunny's long story about his oversleeping and the consequences. Then Bunny helps get the toys painted for Santa, and they go off in the sleigh to deliver the toys together. When they get back to Santa's after delivering all the toys, Bunny is tired and is ready to go back to his burrow and snooze, but before he leaves, Santa give Easter Bunny a present.... The rest of this adorable little story has a very happy ending for everyone.
This book is a little treasure that you will want to keep. The illustrations are so, so adorable.
