Drones, Disasters, and Determination: A Fresh Take on Easter Magic

Featuring: Easter Bunny Blunders – 2025 Creative Child Magazine Book of the Year

When most people picture the Easter Bunny, they imagine an old-fashioned basket and a quiet hop from house to house. But in Easter Bunny Blunders, tradition takes a high-tech turn—complete with drones, flying mishaps, and a lesson in perseverance that’s anything but typical. This modern rhyming story brings fresh energy to Easter, reminding readers that even magic sometimes needs a little help.

An Easter Eve Emergency

Bryson, the Easter Bunny, is ready for the big night—until his magical basket fizzles after McKinley knocks over a drink. With time running out and no plan B, he does something that takes real courage: he asks for help. Enter Bentley, his inventive cousin with wild ideas and a lot of heart. Together, they pivot fast and launch a fleet of drones to save the day.

Of course, things don’t go quite as planned.

Baskets tumble. Deliveries crash. Confused families peer out their windows at blinking lights and zooming shadows. It's Easter Eve turned UFO sighting. What began as a high-flying solution quickly spirals into chaos.

Rescue by Belief

What makes this story shine isn’t just the humor or the rhythm—it’s the role the reader plays. When even the drones can’t fix things, Bryson and Bentley must rely on something stronger than gadgets: belief. In a heartfelt twist, the magic of Easter returns not through technology, but through effort, teamwork, and the reader’s own imagination.

It’s a playful but powerful reminder that some things can’t be fixed alone—and that even a leader like the Easter Bunny needs backup sometimes.

Themes That Go Beyond the Holiday

At its core, Easter Bunny Blunders is about more than chocolate and baskets. It’s about:

  • Asking for help when you need it
  • Thinking on your feet when things go wrong
  • Trying again after a failure
  • Trusting others and sharing responsibility
  • Believing in what can’t always be seen

It’s an energizing, relatable read for kids navigating their own problem-solving journeys—and a fun conversation starter for families who’ve ever had to shift gears mid-plan. Plus, there is an interactive element of looking for Philip the mouse on each page.

A New Kind of Easter Classic

Its fresh approach, lively rhymes, and empowering message make it a standout on Easter shelves—perfect for classroom read-alouds, bedtime giggles, or tossing in a basket as the holiday approaches.
