Peter Rabbit's Happy Easter

by Grace Maccarone

Thinking it will please Mother, Peter Rabbit gathers excess eggs from his neighbors to give to her. But Mother Rabbit is not pleased and she instructs Peter to return the eggs. When Peter accidentally knocks over several jars of paint, the eggs are splashed with all the colors of the rainbow. And when Peter returns the eggs, the children of the neighborhood are delighted. Inventing a new tradition, Peter Rabbit becomes the Easter Bunny.

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.

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.
