Bookroo's summary

The Easter Bunny, once cheerful and pink, feels unappreciated and turns blue with sadness. After a tumble with some children, he becomes the Bad Easter Bunny, wreaking havoc in the neighborhood. But when a little girl offers a simple 'thank you' and a hug, his heart softens, and he returns to his joyful pink self. Will gratitude be enough to keep him from turning bad again?

From the publisher

We’re talking no more Mr. Nice Bunny! Every spring, the Easter Bunny frolics through every neighborhood 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.
