Summary:
When Peter Cottontail wants to be the chief Easter Bunny, everyone in April Valley agrees-- except for Evil Irontail. Peter must deliver more eggs than his archrival to earn the top spot-- and save Easter for children everywhere! In the adaptation of the classic tale of Puss in Boots, Jacques and the family cat Tabby strike out on their own to seek their fortune. When they buy a pair of lucky wishing boots, Tabby transforms into a "Puss in Boots" with adventure and fun in store for everyone they encounter!
