PreS-Gr 2—The Easter Bunny is an elusive and clever creature, able to escape every imaginative trap, or at least that's the theme of this adaptation of the Easter-themed book by Adam Wallace. There are many creative traps set to catch the basket-carrying bunny, but none are successful. Kirby Heybourne narrates the rhyming text with a bounce to his voice and a hidden smile as Andy Elkerton's bright pastel illustrations are simply animated. Background music reflects the story, starting out with a sprightly tune, then changing to a stronger beat as the traps are set and avoided.
VERDICT This slight story has about as much substance as a Peep, but it has been nicely packaged in this format. Those who need a quick Easter Bunny fix will find it here.
