Job For Mr Bunny, A

Synopsis:
The Tooth Fairy accidentally convinces Easter Bunny that it is his fault that children's teeth fall out. He resigns and looks for another job. While doing a bit of supply teaching he is horrified to find out that his diet of chocolate, marshmallows and gummy bears is not very good for children and determines to find a job that is more beneficial for children. In the meantime, Mrs Node, head of the mysterious 'agency' has to find a replacement for the Easter Bunny, interviewing some very unsuitable characters (a burglar, a bogeyman, the Sand Man), but ultimately convinces the Tooth Fairy to 'temporarily' take the job. The Tooth Fairy will be trapped in this job if the Easter Bunny isn't found, and it's only with the help of three children that the story resolves with a happy ending.
