I think this is one of my favourite Rainbow Magic books so far!
I know that there are different authors for every book, but I didn't realize that applied to the illustrations as well. The art in this book looks very different compared to the art in all the other books I've read. Regardless, I think that Emma's design is the cutest, just look at her rain boots!
Speaking of Emma, I truly love everything about her. I think it was a really cool idea to have her items be created every year for Easter rather than just existing - Emma paints three Easter eggs with different designs that her pet chicken has to lay and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this idea. Also, not only do the girls have to find the items, but they also have to find the Easter Bunny, which is different and interesting and probably exciting for the kids reading these books because they're just used to these girls always having three items to find. Also, I didn't expect Emma to be able to communicate with animals through songs, but the Cinderella of it all was something I was super into, more power to her.
One other thing that I appreciated about this book was that they added something new, at least as far as I know, to the fairy lore by saying that fairies can actually sense magic, because it makes sense. 'Goblin Gossamer' was also new to me and I like that they're doing something new with goblins because of course they have pet spiders weaving GREEN webs to catch fairies.
I also think that this book actually feels like an Easter/Spring book because you have all these flowers and colours being mentioned throughout the book, so it had that vibe that I think it needed to have.
The goblins in their lamb costumes was the highlight of the book, nothing will ever top this.
