Pete the cat-s yellow, dead-eyed stare is always good for a laugh, and it-s even better when he-s wearing big white bunny ears, a buck-toothed rabbit snout, and a puffy white tail. It-s all in a day-s work for Pete after he agrees to lend the Easter Bunny a hand (-Find the eggs. Paint the eggs. Hide the eggs,- reads the note Pete discovers in his otherwise empty Easter basket). The story itself is quite thin-after painting the eggs, Pete quickly hides them and receives a -#1 Helper- ribbon from the Easter Bunny himself for his efforts (-Helping others can be lots of fun!- reads the tacked-on closing message). Readers are more likely to be drawn in by all the extras tucked into the pages, which include stickers, a foldout poster, and a dozen perforated Easter cards that can be removed and given away. Ages 4-8. (Jan.)
