Peter Rabbit's Happy Easter

How Peter Rabbit became the Easter Bunny--with pictures by bestselling illustrator David McPhail! A hardcover at an amazingly low price!

Thinking it will please Mother, Peter Rabbit gathers excess eggs from his neighbors to give to her. But Mother Rabbit is not pleased and she instructs Peter to return the eggs.

When Peter accidentally knocks over several jars of paint, the eggs are splashed with all the colors of the rainbow. And when Peter returns the eggs, the children of the neighborhood are delighted.

Inventing a new tradition, Peter Rabbit becomes the Easter Bunny.
