What happens when the Easter Bunny is done with it all! He thinks of a devious plan involving Santa! A really fun and hilarious book!
I was so excited when I spotted this book at the library! Yes, bring it on! Though I had to say I expected a bit more battle, but I guess Santa Claus is just too sweet and kind!
In this book we meet the Easter Bunny who lives next to Santa Claus. Which made me laugh as in EB’s part it was clearly Spring whereas with SC it was clearly Winter. XD We see that the EB is totally fed up and you know what? I could see why! EB has to do everything himself. Make the chocolate, wrap it, then bring it around the gardens, and then he doesn’t even get a thank you! While he sees that SB has everything! Workshops, elves, thank yous and food. Again I could very much imagine that he was getting pissed off. Really? If I was EB I would have done the same devious (but also hilarious and yummy) plan. Though I was also wondering… would it really work? I mean, as a kid? I would have loved getting that! Yes, I am keeping it vague because you really have to read this book yourself to see what happens!
And I absolutely loved the day after Christmas and what happens there! I was a tad worried at first, but shouldn’t have done so as SB is just too sweet and nice! I don’t want to spoil anything but the ending just made me smile. It was such a wonderful and sweet ending and perfection.
The art was just wonderful! Really fun, playful, and it fitted so well with the story!
All in all, highly recommend this book for Easter! I may be re-reading it next year if I get the chance. Well, I will probably buy it because I need this book in my life.

Santa Claus is, as we all know, a jolly fellow. The Easter Bunny however is not.
Santa has it so easy: a workforce of elves to make the presents, a team of reindeer to deliver them, even a hi-spec factory. The Easter Bunny has to make and wrap all the chocolate eggs in his garden shed, and deliver them himself on foot. No wonder you often find them thrown all over your garden. Now this little bunny has run out of patience and devised a devious plot. The holidays just got serious.
So begins a tale of revenge that ends up having a very unexpected result.
Santa Claus vs the Easter Bunny is a fun and funny book aimed at pre-schoolers. While a touch too long for mine, Blunt has written a fast-paced book with lots of dialogue. That makes it a great book to read aloud and really get stuck into voices and expressions, thereby capturing little reader’s interests just long enough to last the story.
His comical illustrations also capture interest, with lots of colour and expression. Easter Bunny’s almost evil personality in parts of the book are such a departure from the traditional sweet little bunny, which makes it even more funny.
Blunt uses speech bubbles within the text, introducing younger readers to the concept of dialogue in a great visual way.
There is a great little moral to the story, with the Easter Bunny learning about revenge, and how when we seek revenge, it’s often out of a sense of fairness. Young readers will learn that two wrongs do not make a right, about manners, and that ultimately kindness will win in the end.

Charming and funny, better than I anticipated. The ending is quite satisfying. Have some chocolate on hand while reading.
