Is BIG BUNNY just like...?

*Is BIG BUNNY just like SANTA CLAUS?

Big Bunny and Santa Claus both travel at night making deliveries to children. However, they are quite different.

Santa is "the BOSS." Santa decides, after looking at his list of who has been naughty and nice, which children deserve presents. Then, he and his team of reindeer fly around the world bringing gifts to children who have been mostly good.

Big Bunny and all the little bunnies bring Easter eggs to all children. There is no boss and there is no list.

*IS BIG BUNNY just like RUDOLPH THE RED NOSE REINDEER?

Big Bunny and Rudolph the red nose raindeer both help make important deliveries. But their place in their communities are different.

Rudolph the red nose reindeer was rejected by the other reindeer because because he was different. The other reindeer did not let him play in reindeer games. It was only when a foggy night prevented the reindeer from flying Santa’s sleigh that they turned to Rudolph for help. Then the other reindeer loved him.

Big Bunny was always accepted by the other bunnies. The other bunnies thought Big Bunny’s size was great and included her in all their games. Big Bunny felt bad because she couldn’t paint eggs or make baskets like the little bunnies. To show their love, the other bunnies figured out a way that Big Bunny could help.

*Is BIG BUNNY just like CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG?

Big Bunny and Clifford are both big.

Clifford is a big, bungling, lovable dog who usually gets into trouble. Fortunately, Clifford is also heroic. His actions sometimes save the day and sometimes his human friends get him out of trouble.

Big Bunny is part of a bunny community. They all play and work together.  With the other bunnies help, Big Bunny is able to use her talents and size in a new way.
