Two talented creators team up again for this one which will delight tiny readers, and would make a superb Easter gift for a newly arrived little human.  The Easter Bunny at our house always delivered a new book each as well as chocolate, so if that’s also a tradition for you, this is a perfect choice.

In the same style as their previous two titles in this ‘series’ Mummy Cuddle and Daddy Cuddle. The story line is simple, the text is sweet and the short sentences exactly right for those tiny ears you just want to nibble gently.

Early Easter morning small bunnies, like excited children everywhere, are up with the birds and out hunting for Easter eggs. Where will they find them? In the (v)eggie patch? Maybe under the hedge? In the bird bath (or is that a bird’s egg?) or perhaps in the wheelbarrow?

These little rabbits have a gorgeous romp as they excitedly collect a rainbow of eggs in their baskets, just as their parents appear, ready to join the fun. Then it’s time for an Easter picnic: book to share, comfy rug, shady tree, and a picnic basket packed with goodies which, no doubt, will be followed up by a chocolate feast.

Easter bliss.

Easter kiss.

Easter snuggle.

Easter cuddle.

Kate Maye’s superbly ‘less is more’ text partnered with Sara Acton’s delicate and expressive illustrations is a sure-fire winner each and every time. It’s a 5 bunny 🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇rating for this Easter delight.
