How the Easter Bunny Saved Christmas

What if Santa couldn't make his appointed Christmas Eve rounds? Anderson (the Little Quack series) imagines this unthinkable scenario by providing the jolly man in red with a seemingly suitable understudy: the Easter Bunny, also known for his travel-the-world-in-one-night act. The well-meaning though misguided cotton-tail fellow soon finds that Santa's are big boots to fill. Luckily the accompanying reindeer act as loyal helpers, ensuring the holiday goes off with hardly a hitch. Not a completely new premise, but a lighthearted one likely to tickle younger readers' funnybones. All ages. (Oct.)
