Mother Cottontail’s twenty-one children learn to take care of their home and each other so she can do a very important job: Delivering Easter eggs to children around the world!

Mother Cottontail must leave home for one night to deliver Easter eggs, but her twenty-one little boy and girl bunnies are up to the challenge! Two by two, they cook, clean, and care for each other, and when Mother Cottontail returns with a big basket of Easter eggs for them, she is pleased—but not surprised—that all was well while she was away.
Du Bose Heyward and Marjorie Flack’s The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes, a classic story of determination and love, has been an Easter favorite since 1939. This egg-shaped board book is an opportunity to introduce the youngest children to a gorgeous vignette from this popular holiday story.
