- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The Bunny Who Found Easter, illustrated by Helen CraigAll alone in the world, a little bunny wonders where all the other rabbits are, until he is advised by a sleepy old owl that there are always rabbits at Easter. Believing that his avian adviser is speaking of a place, our leporine hero sets out to find Easter, traveling through the four seasons until he finds... another rabbit! Finally content, the bunny eventually realizes that Easter is not a place at all, but "a time when everything lovely begins once again..."Originally published in 1959, and illustrated by Betty Peterson, Charlotte Zolotow's sweet tale of a bunny in search of companionship was reprinted in 1998 with new artwork by British illustrator Helen Craig, who has also worked on the popular Angelina Ballerina picture-books. The version I read was published this year (2018) as a special gift edition. I found Zolotow's story immensely appealing, with a poetic text given to beautiful descriptions - black sparrows described as ink drops in the snow - and a conclusion that leaves the reader/listener feeling emotionally satisfied, while also gently leading them to consider the meaning of the season, and the holiday for which the bunny had been searching. Helen Craig's artwork here is incredibly cute, and captures the bunny's changing emotional state quite well. I liked the inclusion of a little mouse companion for the bunny, who is never mentioned in the text, but who (in the illustrations) follows the bunny everywhere, and who finds his own mouse counterpart just as the bunny finds his lady love. Recommended to anyone looking for sweet stories about bunnies, spring, and (tangentially) Easter.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In my opinion, this is an excellent book. I love this book mainly because of the well-organized plot. In the story, a lonely bunny is informed by an owl that there are always plenty of bunnies at Easter, so the bunny travels a long journey through all four seasons until he comes upon spring, where he finally finds bunnies like himself and is no longer lonely. I love how the plot introduces the four seasons in order, and what differentiates them. I also love the ending of the book because it is the “Aha” of the story. The last sentence in the story is, “And he understood at last that Easter was not a place after all, but a time when everything lovely begins once again.” I thought this was a cute and clever way to end the book, as well as a great way to explain Easter without overwhelming the reader. A second reason I enjoyed this book is because of the illustrations, which truly enhance the story. I was eager to open this book because I admittedly am obsessed with bunnies and wanted to see how the illustrator drew bunnies for the book. I was delighted to find how adorable the illustrator portrayed the main bunny character all throughout the book. The illustrator depicted the bunny’s initial feelings of sadness and loneliness quite well by showing the bunny with worrisome eyes, his ears positioned down against his back, and his body completely slouched over as he walked. The illustrations of the bunny also fit the written text throughout the remainder of the story, including when he finally found spring and more importantly, Easter! The big idea of this book is to inform readers of the four seasons and about the significance of Easter celebrated during spring.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A lonely bunny goes on a search to find Easter and the rest of the bunnies. He treks through all seasons and comes across another bunny. The two of them celebrate the time of Easter, create a family, and live happily ever after. This story portrays courageousness and never giving up. Sometimes you have to search for what you want. The illustrations are great and engaging.
