The cover shows a cute bunny. The book is organized very well. There is a table of contents with a Prologue and five one-page chapters. All of the links to the chapters work. There are no other photos/illustrations in the book. SPOILER ALERT: The little bunny, named Hopsy, was told by his parents he was going to be getting a brother. He hops off into the forest and begins telling everyone that he will be getting a brother. When he told the fox, the fox told him he would get less attention from his parents with the new baby brother. The bear gave him some honey for his little brother. The owl told him he would have to share everything with his brother. The wild boar informed him there was a food shortage, and so there would not be as much food available for his brother. By the time he reached the goldfish and told her the good news, he was feeling a bit sad. The goldfish told the bunny that he should look through the forest for hidden eggs, and then his baby brother would have food. The bunny (Hopsy) searched through the forest, found the eggs, and took them home to his parents. The next day everyone in the forest was talking about the little bunny that was searching for eggs in the forest; the story grew and grew until it became the story of the "Easter bunny and colorful Easter eggs."I liked the story idea, but I had a lot of difficulty reading it. It was almost like the book was originally written in another language and translated into English as the phrasing was different. An example is in the author's book description on Amazon: "They tell him something which makes our little bunny decide to take care for everyone he loves." Examples in the book: "Trees were expanding their vivid green branches higher and the higher into the blue sky." "The next who he met was a wise owl which told him..." "Little goldfish felt sorry for Hopsy and discovered him a secret that somewhere..."I did not notice any misspelling. It was formatted perfectly across all of my devices. I would have given it 3-stars, but since the formatting was correct and the table of contents worked I am giving it 4 stars -- that was worth the extra star!
