I grew up with this beautiful story, have given it as a gift so many times over the last two decades.
Finally, I have a grandchild of my own on the way so I ordered it immediately. I have never been
so disappointed. First of all I, like many others, didn't notice that they have shrunk the book down to a
size that takes away from the beautiful illustrations, they also included a necklace which is not an asset
to the story along, that along with a very large sticker warning of choking hazards (covering up part of
the author information)...and when I tried to remove it,
part of it stuck to the book and left a white, torn, sticky mess. Ruined the moment for sure. Will
not be giving to my grandchild or anyone else.

The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes DuBose Heyward Marjorie Flack 9780395159903 Books Reviews

I've loved this story since I was a little girl and just purchased it for my daughter. It's a sweet, beautiful story about a country bunny who chose to be kind, wise, and brave, and in the end was rewarded for her goodness. It's a simple concept but such an important sentiment, and the illustrations are timeless and wonderful! I never even believed in the Easter Bunny, but this was one of my very favorite childhood books.
My daughter, 4, has always been a stickler for details and is frustrated with most picture books that just tell a simple story about the day of Easter, hiding eggs. She wanted to know how did the Easter bunny become just that! I poured through many books but found little or no backstory. Until this book.

Not only is the heroine a mother, but boldly blazes a path in the male dominated business of Easter. It explains that it's actually a team of rabbits, encouraging good moral traits. My daughter drank this up and is finally satisfied with her Easter bunny questions. While a long story, and detailed, it's plot is simple and characters few so that even the youngest can follow. Another wonderful aspect is the language. Unlike modern books which are jarring dialogue (or mindless) with no rhythm when spoken aloud, this book is from another epoch when people still used lovely words that evoke delightful pictures and in a flowing pattern. It is a delight to read 3x a day or more. And to see her sigh at the end, satisfied, which so many of her other books lack ability to do, is the best part.

So if your looking for an untraditional twist with greater detail to the classic Easter Bunny stories, give this a try. My only issue is the small number of illustrations as it is geared not as a picture book but early reader.
I have to agree with the others - I did not realize they shrunk this book down from it's original size. The one that arrived was about 5x7". And it had the impossible-to-remove warning sticker. The story itself is wonderful, just don't order this copy.
The image fails to show the large sticker which is on the front of the book that says "CHOKING HAZARD - Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years of age" … I understand the need for safety warnings but the sticker is not removable. The cover of the book is completely destroyed by this sticker and is definitely NOT represented in the images. I'd return it if I had time to get a new one before Easter.
I think this is one of my favorite children's books. I love that it was written almost 100 years ago and has a strong message. There is a female bunny that is "just" a country bunny and not a "fine rabbit" she has lots of children and the fine rabbits see her as useless in their world and stupid to have so many children. However, she has shown herself to be wise and capable of greatness and that shines through when she is chosen to be one of the many Easter Bunnies that deliver eggs around the world. My emotions went from anger to tears as I read it for the first time. I think it's a book that should be on every child's bookshelf. Maybe Dolly Parton could make it a part of her Imagination Library so more parents and children can know the joy of this beautiful story. It's a great book about how a woman can accomplish anything in this world no matter her station in life and how others view her.
I used to have this book when I was little, and I wanted my daughter to read it, too. While the story itself merits 5 stars, this edition was disappointing. The size of the book is fairly small with large chunks of text on each page. It seems that they condensed it down to fewer pages with less pictures and more text (as far as I can remember). I actually didn't even notice that it came with a necklace when I bought it, and my daughter thinks it's just part of the book, so we haven't tested its durability yet.
If you want to read a great book with a great lesson this is it. I bought this and read it to my 6 year old. She loved the story- it really stressed many points about being kind and wise as well as never giving up on your dreams. Very appropriate for many ages and one that we will read over many times and learn new lessons regarding helping out, kindness, caring.... It is great book for adults too.... especially parents like myself that often do things for my child that I should be teaching my child to do herself to teach responsibility. This is a great book to have on the shelf.
