Hard to resist doing our reading outside on evenings like these. Naomi and Simone grabbed one of our favorite books, The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes. Written by DuBose Heyward and illustrated by Majorie Flack.
Country Bunny wants to be the Easter Rabbit but alas she gets knocked up and has 21 little bunnies. She adores the babies and they grow up to be quite talented. We particularly love the story, as she does audition for the position of Easter Rabbit and her pitch for the job consists of sharing her marvelous kids and all their fabulous activities which bowls over the judge, and well, she lands the job. The job, as it turns out, is mighty challenging and I best leave something unsaid so that you need to read the beautiful story!
