About This Book

A parent might reach for this book on Easter Eve to channel a child's bubbling excitement into a cozy, shared bedtime story. This book is a playful and direct riff on the classic poem, "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," swapping Santa for the Easter Bunny. It follows a family as they dye eggs and prepare for the big day, with the narrator getting a secret peek at the bunny himself as he delivers baskets filled with jelly beans, chocolate, and Peeps. The emotional tone is pure joy and gentle anticipation, making it a perfect read for children ages 3 to 7. Its familiar rhythm and cheerful illustrations make it an excellent choice for creating a warm family tradition and settling down an eager child before a big holiday morning.
