Synopsis
The country bunny attains the exalted position of Easter Bunny in spite of her responsibilities as the mother of twenty-one children.
Annotation
The country bunny's twenty-one children help her to become an Easter Bunny.
"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."

January 28, 2006: Everyone seems to emphasize the 'feminist' nature of this book. I just think that it is a great tale about the importance of hard work, courage, and perseverance for all youngsters.

May 04, 2005: This is a story written for young children, but adults can enjoy it as well. It centers around a female rabbit who wants to be the Easter Bunny but is told that she cannot. She goes on to other things, but never forgets her desire to be Easter Bunny. When the opportunity to be Easter Bunny finally arises, she has some obstacles to overcome, which she does with the help of others and by believing in herself. This is a wonderful story with a feminist point of view. Even though it was written in 1939, the message is very timely for today. The book is also full of beautiful illustrations!
