<div>A hardworking mother rabbit achieves her dream job the night before Easter in this classic picture book. When eggs need to be delivered to all the world’s children the night before Easter, only the fastest bunnies are chosen for the job. The country bunny, a little brown rabbit named Cottontail is a mama to twenty-one little ones, thinks that perhaps her lifelong dream of being one of the five Easter Bunnies is a hopeless one. But when Grandfather Bunny searches for a new Easter Bunny, he is looking for someone who is wise, kind, swift, and clever. He is looking for Cottontail. So begins this brave mama bunny’s night of adventure and magic. Whimsical and sweet with bright illustrations in Easter egg pastels, the country bunny’s story is as magical today as it was in 1939. It is a celebration of the timeless values of equality, hard work, and patient ambition. Praise for The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes “It is difficult to believe that this very modern feminist tale was originally written in 1939. A gem of a fantasy in which kindness and cleverness win out over size and brawn.” —Learning Magazine</div>
