It's harder than you'd think to be the Easter Bunny, as cat realizes. Lots of pages, but big pictures and few words.

Everyone loves the Easter Bunny because he’s nice and delivers chocolate eggs. Cat wants to be like the Easter Bunny. Cat has nice clothes and transportation. There’s just one problem. Cat needs lots of naps, and the job of Easter Bunny doesn’t allow naps.

By the time the Easter Bunny arrives with an egg for Cat, he is ready for a nap. Cat understands how the tired Easter Bunny feels. Can Cat hatch a plan to help the sleepy bunny get some zzz’s and still deliver the eggs on time? Read this funny holiday book to find out.

The Bottom Line: This adorable book is a holiday winner. The “dialogue” between the narrator and the cat is engaging and humorous. Rueda’s illustrations in colored pencils and ink are lively and expressive. This book is highly recommended for seasonal reading. Kids ages 3 – 7 will love it!

I read another of the books in this series a while back but I don't think I recorded the title (nor can I remember which it was). These books are adorable, frustrating, and funny! In this book, Cat isn't so fond of or impressed by Easter. In fact, he decides he's much better than the Easter Bunny! But the job is more than he expected. And just when I thought it would take a bad turn, Cat pulls out some sweetness after all. Awww.

This book is lots of fun, with great back-and-forth between cat and the narrator as well as awesome illustrations. I will definitely keep my eyes out for other Cat books as I volunteer in the library. ( )

Summary: A cat is jealous of the Easter Bunny's job. He wants to be the Easter Cat until he realizes how hard the Easter Bunny really works. In return, he helps the Easter Bunny deliver eggs with his motorcycle. ( )

Jealous cat wants to usurp bunny and take over Easter. ( )
