Plot twist. Also no conflict resolution... now reading it a second time I guess there isn't really a need for "conflict resolution."

Interesting take on the Peter Rabbit tale. This one involves Peter in a new adventure, involving eggs.

[Edward Creter · Rating 3 out of 5]

This Easter tale tells how Peter rabbit may well have been the first Easter bunny! All it takes is some acccidentally colored eggs and a lotta heart.
