    An Easter favorite with The Berenstain Bears

    As I previously stated, the Berenstain Bears TV specials, the 1985 TV series, and the original book series were all part of my childhood. And now, thanks to YouTube, I can relive it. Also, I had found three of the specials on DVD and VHS. I preferred the three holiday specials, including this one, out of the four that were produced.

    This Easter favorite is set way back when Brother Bear was an only child and, at around Easter, winter had lingered for unknown reasons and everyone was worried Easter might skip a year. Brother asks about Easter. Mama gave the true meaning and said Brother would have a special Easter surprise. So when Mama, Papa, Brother, and everyone in Bear Country went to see Boss Bunny, the Easter Bunny whose ear wiggling signals spring, there was a note saying, "Boss Bunny Has Quit!" A tearful Brother Bear wondered about his Easter surprise and what it would be. So he decides to find Boss Bunny himself.

    So, I have nothing further to add. You must watch and see for yourself. Spoilers, you understand, and again, this special is another Easter favorite of mine though criminally underrated. Anyway, this special is another recommendation for any family's Easter.
