Milo the Really Big Bunny

Fun book

This Easter story is silmilar to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Milo is an oversized misfit bunny who works for the Easter bunny but isn't good at coloring eggs or other such Easter tasks the way the other bunnies are. But then one stormy Easter morning Milo finds the Easter Bunny himself asking Milo for help delivering baskets. Because of Milo's size and strength he is the only bunny who can get through the wind and rain. He saves the day and is appreciated for the unique bunny he is. Colorful and witty illustrations accompany this sweet story. We read it every year.

Apart from the fact that this is just a lazy re-telling of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, this may be one of the most poorly written children's books I've ever read. The prose is disjointed and halting, the plot is too familiar, and at times the illustrations don't make any sense (see last page). And what is with that eyeball floating off the side of Milo's face?

This is a fun book with great illustrations. It is fairly seasonal in nature with the Easter Bunny involved. Milo, as a giant bunny, didn't feel accepted, but he learned he was a great bunny with the help of the Easter Bunny.
