I am writing this together with my 7 year old daughter.

We loved The Hot Cross Bunny. The story was engaging and a fun, quick read for young readers for Easter time.

I loved the illustrations, they are bright, beautiful and quirky. They have been done with love, care and attention and are clearly done by a professional - not a collection of clip art like some children's books we have reviewed in the past.

The story was fun and unique and something we both recommend. Five stars and a big thumbs up!

Thank you to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group, and Carys Bexington for this ARC!

The Hot Cross Bunny was a super cute story, with the main characters, Steve and Nugget, trying to make a chocolate egg for their Easter egg hunt. When Steve is unsuccessful, he sets out to make a chocolate egg with his own ingredients.

I absolutely loved the rhyming and it totally reminded me of The Grinch. My 5 year old twins couldn't stop laughing. They were able to understand the story and found it just as enjoyable as I did.

I would absolutely recommend this book to others! It's a cute and creative Easter read!

The Hot Cross Bunny by Carys Bexington 5/5

I love this adorable book. The story line is fun and silly which kept the children's attention. I read this with my two children, age 5 and 7. They loved sitting and listening, the story is engaging and a quick read. The illustration is bright and inviting. I would recommend this story to anyone with children.
