Easter is Cancelled!


Sally Huss - 2016
    But this year the Easter Bunny was not participating, not taking charge, not helping out. The other animals had their duties and were working well. Not the Easter Bunny! Why? His excuse was that no one ever thanks him for all the work he does to create a special day for kids all over the world. So, he cancelled Easter. Oh my, oh my. A wise and thoughtful owl is consulted. His solution warms the heart of the bunny. What the Easter Bunny is told is important for all kids to know. You’ll have to read the book to find out what that is. Be sure to take a peek at ONE HUNDRED EGGS FOR HENRIETTA, another happy Easter book by Sally Huss.
