Peter Cottontail's Busy Day

by Joe Ritchie

This title is suitable for children of ages 3-5. This popular Warner Bros. licensed character, unique to CandyCane Press, features flaps on each page that reveal the transformation of Peter Cottontail from sleepyhead to the master of Easter treats. Rich, colourful art by artist Lydia Halverson brings to life Peter's to the hen house for eggs to colour, to the porcupines' mines for jellybeans, to Abbey Turtle with a request for 'a thousand' baskets, and to the Nick the Squirrel's for the required candy chicks and bunnies.

I got the first edition which did not have flaps but both my 20mo and 4yo liked it

This was one of the options at work for people to read to the scared/unsocial cats to help them get used to humans. Read this to one of the boys and found myself quite entertained by it. I like when children's books are interactive and allows the child to learn and play at the same time.

This is a story about Peter Cottontail getting ready for Easter and hiding eggs for the kids. Readers can actively look for the eggs and not just on the page but there is little flaps to lift and find things underneath.

As a book choice to read to a cat it wasn't bad and actually made for a fun read.
