| Easter Books : The Story of the Easter |
Read on to know the storyline of children Easter book 'The Story of the Easter Bunny' by Katherine Tegen.
The Story of the Easter Bunny depicts the origin of the legendary
Easter bunny. The Easter bunny is among one's adorable childhood icons
and during Easter children eagerly waits for the bunny to bring them
colored eggs and gift baskets. Author Katherine Tegen's delightful
narrative portrays how an act of kindness by a pet rabbit led him to
become the Easter bunny.
According to the tale, it wasn't always the Easter Bunny who colored
eggs and wove baskets for the children on the eve of Easter--it was an
old couple who lived in a snug little cottage. Their petite white
rabbit, however, always watched their preparations closely. As the
couple grew old, the rabbit started helping them out in the task of
weaving baskets, coloring eggs, and delivering the gifts to village
children.
When the man and woman become too old to continue their labors, the
rabbit took upon himself the task of distributing gifts for children.
But eventually when children came to know about bunny, he left the old
couple to set up shop in the shadow-filled wood, assisted by other
rabbit friends. He finds a big hollow tree with ample space for making
the chocolate, coloring eggs, and for making baskets.
Katherine Tegen's splendid story is ably complemented by Sally Anne
Lambert's watercolors that provide detailed images of the cozy cottage
kitchen as well as the rabbit den.
