highly recommended

A bunny for all ages

Very touching story about perseverance and knowing when to accept help. Great message for adults and kids alike.

powerful and true

This is the most powerful book I have ever read.

The boastful jackrabbits, the aristocratic snobby rabbits, and the male rabbits who laugh when little country bunny tells them that she will grow up to become to be one of the revered Easter Bunnies - are all proven wrong.

Little country bunny grows up, has children, and through the pure goodness of her heart and common sense catches the eye of the Wise Old Grandfather bunny.

Ta-da! He asks her to be an Easter Bunny! After trials and tribulations, her determination, caring, and perseverence carry her through, and she is exalted beyond her dreams by Grandfather Bunny. She is wise, and nice, and very humble.

I love this story because is beautifully written and teaches that those with good and kind hearts, who work hard and persevere, will triumph. Being rich, big, high-born, young, male, does not matter where it really counts - all that matters is what is in your heart.

I first read this as a minority child growing up in a rural community. Now I am a professional in a large city. This book made a difference for me.

Childhood Memories

My great Grandmother bought this book for my brother and I when I was born, and my mother read it to us on Easter Eave every year with out fail. I can recall the story word for word, and now read it to my youngest brother as well. Traditions are a great thing to have in a family, and with tradition, comes fond memories. It has been a while since I have celebrated Easter with the innocence of a child like mind, but every year I recall the story of the Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes and wish I could be 7 years old again. This is a story of dedication, and devotion, two things that children need to learn early on in life. I am glad to have such fond childhood memories, and will cherish them always. I plan to continue the tradition of reading this book to my chilldren on Easter Eave, and hope that my children will continue to do the same.

The best Easter book-and read it the rest of the year, too!

I read this book when I was six and enjoyed it very much. But when I re-read it over 30 years later, I loved it with all my heart. This is a wonderful story about a mother bunny who never lets go of her dream. It's a wonderful story for showing the love between mother and child and for inspiring bunnies (and people!) to never give up. And to think that the author did this without being "preachy". I can't think of a better book to read to your children or give to your niece/nephew/grandchild for Easter. Or maybe just read for yourself.

I loved this book!

My mother read this book to me when I was very young, about 3-4 yrs. old. I didn't remember the name of the book but I remembered when the bunny gave the special Easter egg to the sick little boy. I remembered the beautiful pictures. Then when I taught pre-school I made a secne at a book fair when I screeched & got excited about seeing that book again. Needless to say I bought it and shared it with my mother who smiled at seeing it again after so many years. I have my own now & can't read it aloud to my kids at school cause tears course down my face. Such a beautiful story about perservance and the power of a dream.
