K-Gr 2 Betty Bunny is back, and, as her family agrees, she is "a handful." After she declares, "'When I grow up, I'm going to be the Easter Bunny,'" she is determined to prove herself during the Easter egg hunt. But when she only manages to find eggs with the help of her siblings, she resolves to locate some on her own. Through hard work and resilience, the young rabbit grows a little more independent and discovers that achievement through autonomy can be rewarding. As in the earlier books, there is a lesson to be learned; here the theme of independence is prominent without ever becoming didactic.
