Where is Easter? asked the little bunny eagerly. But the old owl had dozed off to sleep again in the sun. It must be someplace East, thought the bunny and he set off searching.
A lonely bunny goes hunting for Easter, where he hopes to find other bunnies. His search takes him through summer, fall, and winter, but only in spring does he find what he’s been looking for all along. This special gift edition includes a striking new cover and gorgeous endpaper images. Humorous, heartwarming, and sweet, this modern take on an old classic is the perfect story to hop into on Easter.
If the title sounds familiar, it's because the story was originally published in 1959 with pictures by B. Peterson. If the book looks familiar, it's because the illustrations seem so timeless and so right. Craig, best known as the illustrator of the Angelina Ballerina series, brings new life to the old story of a little bunny, alternately hopeful and dejected, who wanders alone through a year, searching for Easter in order to find the company of other rabbits. Reflecting the tone of Zolotow's tale, the ink, watercolour, and coloured-pencil artwork creates detailed and often charming scenes of fantasy through well-defined line and delicate colours. A welcome new edition of an appealing picture book.
