Easter in Harwick

This was the first Easter children's book I had bought for my son age 3. He really enjoys the Thomas and Friends books/toys, so I knew this would be a hit. At this age I have been buying holiday books that get him into the spirit and it has really made him understand once the holiday came. We still have to read it once and a while so it is not just for Easter. This kids Easter book is for kids ages 4-8.

Bunny's Easter Egg

Bunny has been working hard all night to hide beautiful eggs for the hunt on Easter morning, and now she would like nothing better than to take a long quiet nap. She still has one egg in her basket, but it is very plain, and anyway, she is too tired to hide any more eggs. But try as she might, she cannot find a good place to sleep. The birds are chirping, the frogs are croaking, the mice are squeaking…how will she ever get any sleep? After trying a series of likely spots the garden, the boat at the pond, a hollow in some tree roots she finally ends up back in her own egg basket and finds that she now has a new companion in place of the plain brown egg. The story line is simple with lots of repetition, which will appeal to young listeners. This is definitely a "read to" book since the vocabulary is often beyond the target audience age range (e.g., wheelbarrow, burrowing, etc.). The illustrations are exquisitely executed with beautiful colors and engaging depictions of small animals, flowers, and brightly colored eggs. There is even a challenge in the beginning of the book to find all the eggs hidden in the book's illustrations. A timely addition for the Easter season, this book would make a nice personal gift, but is of limited utility for classroom discussion or group work.

Biggest Easter Basket Ever

Mouseville residents are all excited by the upcoming Easter festivities. The mayor has announced that there will be an egg rolling contest, Easter egg hunt and a contest to see who can make the biggest Easter basket. Clayton and Desmond are each determined to win and they prepare really huge baskets, but when they check out those of their friends they realize that the others are about the same size. The solution becomes fairly obvious Desmond and Clayton decide to cooperate and together with their families they do build the biggest and best Easter basket. The friends win the contest and share all the goodies with those who are participating in the festivities. The added attraction in this book is the series of foil egg stickers (for which there is no explanation or apparent use in the book).
A delightful children's Easter story book. Recommend for kids ages 4 8.
