About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child is feeling a bit jealous or is convinced someone else's job is easier and more fun than their own. This hilarious story follows a grumpy cat who decides he is much better suited to be the Easter Bunny. As he plots his takeover, an unseen narrator's questions make him realize the job is much harder than it looks.

What Parents Should Know

Sensitive Topics

This book presents a completely secular version of Easter, focusing on the cultural traditions of the Easter Bunny and egg delivery. There are no religious elements. The core conflict is a mild, humorous case of jealousy, which is resolved with empathy and friendship.

Ideal Reader

This book is perfect for a 4 to 7 year old who loves silly, character-driven humor. It is an excellent choice for a child who is struggling with feelings of jealousy or who tends to underestimate the effort others put into things. It also appeals to children who enjoy interactive, almost wordless storytelling where they interpret a character's feelings through illustrations.
