The Bad Easter Bunny

You think the Easter Bunny is cute and sweet? You haven't met BEB, aka the Bad Easter Bunny! He will eat all your candy, break all your toys, and trash your neighborhood. We're talking no more Mr. Nice Bunny!

The Easter Bunny is tired of being taken advantage of. Children swarm him for candy and never seem to notice his generosity. It's gotten so bad, in fact, that the Easter Bunny's beautiful pink fur has started to change a variety of colors, from a sad blue to an irate red! And he's had enough.Every spring the Easter Bunny frolics through every neighbourhood in every city to hand out candy and toys to children. The problem is he feels a total lack of gratitude from them. He's getting sadder and sadder, and in turn his once bright-pink fur has gone a depressing shade of blue. His fur really does reflect how he is feeling inside. When a group of highly excitable children knock him to the ground, he sees all of the colors of the rainbow and settles on a hopping red color. The Easter Bunny is furious! He’s tired of being taken for granted and has decided to become the Bad Easter Bunny.

He sets about smashing toys, eating all the candy, and making a big mess of the neighborhood. But a simple "thank you" from one little girl on a scooter makes the Bad Easter Bunny regret his actions. A small hug and sharing a piece of candy makes the Easter Bunny turn a happy pink, and he promises to be bad no more. In this fun and quirky children's book, Stéphanie Röhr's magical illustrations show how one good bunny turned very bad--and how important gratitude can be.
