Rating:  Summary: My favorite book when I was little Review: This was my favorite book when I was little & I still love it today. It's a story about Easter & the Five (yes, five) Easter Bunnies who deliver baskets of eggs to children all around the world. These rich, fast & beautiful jackrabbits & hares laugh at the little country girl rabbit for thinking that she could ever become an Easter Bunny. It's about how girls, even little country rabbit girls, don't just have to grow up & get married & have babies, they can be special in other ways just like anybody else. And if they do grow up & marry & have babies, that doesn't mean that's all they can do; they can achieve more than that as well. The other rabbits who think that looks & speed is what it's all about don't realize that you also need to be kind, considerate, caring & wise as well. I don't completely believe that these attitudes are completely dated; you can still find them in lesser degrees anywhere. I think it's a great book with a modern outlook for girls & boys everywhere.I read this book recently to my nephews. I don't think my nephews really believed this story about there being Five Easter Bunnies but I do!
Rating:  Summary: A transformational experience Review: You might think this is a children's book for Easter, and I suppose it is. But when I first read it to my firstborn it was a transformational experience for me. Find out how to be a stay at home mom and still have a full life. I've worn out several copies and my daughters have permanantly borrowed a few.
