country bunnies.

Have you read The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes yet? Easter just isn't Easter without the story of the spunky mommy and her 21 bunnies! The big, strong rabbits laugh at the little brown country bunny when she tells them she wants to become an Easter bunny, but Country Bunny is determined and her courage and wisdom pay off. DuBose Heyward, author of Porgy, wrote the tale for his 10 year old daughter Jennifer. The pictures are by Marjorie Hack, who also illustrated Ping, and won a Caldecott Honor for Boats on the River.

Happy Easter and Hanamatsuri! We are back as well (from Florida). Had a great trip but came home to a flooded basement. What a nightmare. Hope all is well with you and yours. I love the book suggestions on your blog. Now if only I had more time to read...
