A teddy bear, accidentally left outside on the night before Easter, sees a rabbit taking eggs from the henhouse. Teddy follows the rabbit through the dark woods to a meadow where the Easter Bunny and his worker rabbits are preparing Easter eggs. The dark, stylized illustrations give the otherwise predictable story a feeling of mystery. This is pleasant holiday fare.

Teddy, the plush toy who decorated eggs in Teddy's Easter Secret, now dresses up for Halloween with the help of his animal friends. Illustrated with dark, stylized paintings in largely pastel tones, the story is satisfactory but none of the characters has much personality.
