The Easter Bunny That Overslept

I've read this book so many times over the years that I have it memorized. The one in my classroom is 40 years old I just bought this one for my grandson. They changed it just a bit but I was happy to see that it's still available.

Fun in 1957, fun today—

My kids loved this book and the illistruations are wonderful. Now my grandsons love this book.

Even when you love your job and it allows you to make people happy, when you are snug and cozy in your bed on a rainy day it seems the logical thing to sleep in. The trouble is, that for an Easter bunny, if the day he continues to sleep is his ONE big important day of the year, how will he make up the time?This is a determined bunny and he tries again and again to deliver his beautifully colored eggs.Some people are not as open to change as others and can't see the benefits of Easter eggs on different days. It takes one special person to make the sad Easter bunny feel better.A cute story with amazing illustrations. A nice chance to talk to your kids about problem solving.

This is a darling story with great illustrations to pique the imagination. My 4-year old loved it and preferred this book over the other three I got her for Easter.

A childhood favourite which is now my grandchidrens favourite.

Everyone with any child inside of them should have this book.I found a used copy of this book and fell in love with it. The illustrations by Adrienne Adams are half of what makes this book so incredibly precious. It's one of those little storybooks that you will probably want to keep and pass on as an heirloom.The story begins with the Easter Bunny sound asleep in his warm burrow "dreaming of Easter and the brightly painted eggs that he was going to bring all the children." But Easter comes, it's raining a lot, and bunny sleeps until May, when he wakes up thinking it's Easter, puts on his Easter clothes and hops off with his Easter basket through the woods (adorable pictures) to a house with a family eating chocolates, but he finds out it's Mother's Day, and everywhere he goes to deliver his eggs, people tell him it's too late for Easter and scold him for being so late to bring their eggs.The Easter Bunny goes back to his burrow and decides to be a 4th of July Bunny and paint his eggs red, white, and blue, and put on a patriotic outfit and then goes out to join a 4th of July parade when it rolls around, but the parade gets stopped by an officer who tells the bunny crossly that July 4th is "no time for eggs!", and nobody is interested in the bunny's red white and blue eggs.The Easter Bunny goes back to his burrow and fell asleep again for a long time until he got woken up on Halloween by some trick or treaters. The Easter Bunny tries to give his guests some July 4th eggs and then explains that they are really Easter eggs, but realizes that nobody wants his eggs on Halloween.Suddenly, a big wind picks up and blows the Easter Bunny to Santa's house and Santa invites him inside and Santa hears Bunny's long story about his oversleeping and the consequences. Then Bunny helps get the toys painted for Santa, and they go off in the sleigh to deliver the toys together. When they get back to Santa's after delivering all the toys, Bunny is tired and is ready to go back to his burrow and snooze, but before he leaves, Santa give Easter Bunny a present.... The rest of this adorable little story has a very happy ending for everyone.This book is a little treasure that you will want to keep. The illustrations are so, so adorable.

Oh nooo! The Easter bunny slept through Easter. He wakes up and heads out and quickly learns what happened as people refuse his eggs.He tries to hand them out by becoming the 4th of July bunny and he tries to give them away for Halloween. No luck! Nobody wants them and some are annoyed he was late.Eventually he ends up in the North Pole and Santa puts him to work making toys. He also rides with him to help distribute presents as he can get down smaller chimneys better then Santa.Santa gives him a nice present. A gold time clock so he never misses Easter again.Overall it's a nice story but I don't think my girl really likes it. For me the words didn't flow right for a bedtime story.The art work is cute but so far has not interested my girl to want to look at it like she does with other books.Oh well.....
