Book Review: 'Here Comes the Easter Cat' by Deborah Underwood

✰✰✰✰✰ Everyone loves the Easter Bunny because he’s nice and delivers chocolate eggs. Cat wants to be like the Easter Bunny. Cat has nice clothes and transportation. There’s just one problem. Cat needs lots of naps, and the job of Easter Bunny doesn’t allow naps.

By the time the Easter Bunny arrives with an egg for Cat, he is ready for a nap. Cat understands how the tired Easter Bunny feels. Can Cat hatch a plan to help the sleepy bunny get some zzz’s and still deliver the eggs on time? Read this funny holiday book to find out.

The Bottom Line: This adorable book is a holiday winner.  The “dialogue” between the narrator and the cat is engaging and humorous. Rueda’s illustrations in colored pencils and ink are lively and expressive. This book is highly recommended for seasonal reading. Kids ages 3 – 7 will love it!
