Book Synopsis

Mother Cottontail must leave home for one night to deliver Easter eggs, but her twenty-one little boy and girl bunnies are up to the challenge! Two by two, they cook, clean, and care for each other, and when Mother Cottontail returns with a big basket of Easter eggs for them, she is pleased--but not surprised--that all was well while she was away. Du Bose Heyward and Marjorie Flack's The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes, a classic story of determination and love, has been an Easter favorite since 1939. This egg-shaped board book is an opportunity to introduce the youngest children to a gorgeous vignette from this popular holiday story.

Review Quotes

"It is difficult to believe that this very modern feminist tale was originally written in 1939. A gem of a fantasy in which kindness and cleverness win out over size and brawn."--Learning Magazine --
