Everyone's favorite pint-sized dino from the New York Times bestseller Tiny T. Rex and the Impossible Hug celebrates springtime with this heartwarming Easter board book!

The Easter Bun-Bun visits young dinosaurs and leaves them each a special treat--a basket filled with surprises! But when Tiny realizes that Mother and Father didn't get anything, he decides that today he is not a mighty rex but an Itty-Bitty Bun-Bun, and sets out to create a sweet surprise for them, too.
