A Country Bunny... a book worth 500 stars!

A BEAUTIFUL BOOK! A inspiring story of a mother (bunny) and her children. Not the greatest illustrations I've ever seen (still nice) but the story completely makes up for that. GET THIS BOOK, I promise you and your kids will love it.

Through a Six-Year-Old's Mind

I was born in 1940. This book was read to me once in first grade. I remembered not only the story, but the beautiful illustrations. Twenty years later I called my first grade teacher to ask for the book title so I could read it to my children. "The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes," she had remembered. As I read this to my children, I saw my life had been influenced by this wonderful story. Dubose Heyward wrote one book in 1939. He wrote to tell young females that they can grow up to follow their dreams and have a family. That they can get past social expectations, and past the people who aren't cheering them on, and that we all have a special destiny if we trust ourselves enough to persist against the odds which then sets the example for our children to do the same.

The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes

I was born and raised in Germany and not familiar with this book until last week when I overheard my husband reading it to our children. It was the day after mother's day. I was moved to tears. There was the book I should have given to all my (discouraged, frustrated) girl-friend mothers for mother's day! Mrs. Cottontail had the wisdom to raise her bunnies in a way that she did not have to give up her greatest dream. In addition, her children were raised to be self-sufficient, responsible and happy bunnies. What more can we ask? Hurray for Mrs. Cottontail! This is one of the best parenting skills book I have read in a long time...and your kids are going to benefit from reading it, too.

My favorite book when I was little

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!

A classic from my childhood

When I came across this book again recently it was a revelation: I had forgotten all about it but I loved it as a child. Now that I've found it again, I can't wait to share it with my own daughters, nephews and nieces. Beautiful illustrations and a sweet, inspiring story.
