About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is feeling the sting of comparison or the 'it is not fair' blues. It is a perfect choice for kids who feel overlooked when others are in the spotlight, or for those who need a humorous lesson on the value of hard work versus the glamour of the finish line. Cat is grumpy because the Easter Bunny gets all the attention. He decides he can do the job better, complete with a sparkly suit and a motorcycle. However, the reality of delivering eggs turns out to be much more exhausting than he anticipated. Through dry humor and a clever dialogue with an unseen narrator, the book explores envy, the importance of empathy, and the satisfaction of helping a friend in need. It is a lighthearted, secular holiday story that teaches kindness through a relatable, flawed protagonist.
