the Easter Bunny, Santa gave him a gold alarm clock so he never missed Easter again.

REVIEW
I felt this book gave a nice overview of various holidays. It began with Easter, went to the Fourth of July, moved towards Halloween, pushed onto Christmas, and ended back at Easter. I liked that it subtly showed how each of the holidays that the Easter Bunny encountered were different from Easter. For example, the police officer on the Fourth of July told him that it was no time for eggs and was a time for firecrackers and parades. I also liked that some of the illustrations were shaped in the form of an egg. I felt like it carried on the theme into the illustrations.
