Deliver treats by moonlight / Bunny Hop with gnomes

The textured glitter-stamped cover is so inviting that young readers will be eager to accompany Little Bunny during his very busy day, and they will be in for another sparkly surprise when they unfold a secret flap at the end of the book to see all the items in Little Bunny’s to-do list checked off in glittery ink!

Perfect for Easter or everyday read-alouds, Little Bunny’s To-Do List offers a gentle lesson on the importance of organization.

A small, white rabbit living in a hutch has a busy morning as he magically transform into a bow-tie wearing Easter bunny and makes all of his preparations for delivering eggs. He consults his lengthy to-do list as he gathers and Dye's eggs, harvests jelly beans from a tree, and knits a number of lambswool sweaters. After enchanting his giant egg basket, he takes off in the evening to deliver eggs. It's not all work, though; he has plenty of time to bunny hop with the garden gnomes. With all of the Easter baskets filled and eggs hidden everywhere, he hops home in time to drink some magic parsley tea and return to being a regular, and very tired, bunny. He snuggles with the other bunnies to dream.

Good Points

Told in rhyming verse, this book shows Little Bunny being very productive, and even includes a fold out list at the end, complete with glittery check marks indicating that he got all of his work done. From a time management perspective, I was a little surprised that he left all of the work for the day before Easter; I rather wished this would also have showed some long range planning. The readers for this, however, are young enough that they probably have never even created a to-do list, so this is a great place to start. Zax and Evans have also written Little Witch's To-Do List and Little Elf's To-Do List (for Christmas).

The illustrations are befittingly pastel , with a good dose of sparkles. Little Bunny and his friends are all shown be upbeat, cooperative, and helpful. Little Bunny does take some breaks to have lemonade with his friends, who help him organize things, unwind wool, and have quite the party while dyeing the eggs. The end papers are delightful, with eggs, teacups, carrots, and flowers.

While there may never be another Easter picture book as completely perfect as Heyward's 1939 The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes, there are a number of fun ones available. Take a look at Toht's Pick a Perfect Egg, Heim and Blanco's Stop That Bunny, Baker's Hap-Pea Easter, and Trukhan's The Great Big Egg Hunt for a veritable Easter basket of great titles.
