The Easter Egg
It is springtime. Hoppi, a young bunny, would like to win the right to
help the Easter Rabbit hide the eggs by decorating the winning egg. He
needs an "amazing idea" for his first egg ever. Searching, he passes
other bunnies at work, making eggs with flowers, from carved wood,
chocolate, and Granny Ireney makes "fabulous story eggs." Overwhelmed by
the possibilities, Hoppi decides to, "just make an egg I am proud
of." Just then, an egg tumbles from Mother Robin's nest. It must be kept
warm until it hatches. Through days and nights, Hoppi never leaves it.
For this good deed, the Easter Rabbit chooses him for a place of honor
on Easter. The front jacket/cover portrait of our nattily jacketed hero
surrounded by a frame of decorated eggs, plus the five bunnies at work
on the eggs in a similar frame on the back introduce the double pages of
the highly detailed, naturalistic scenes. Additional vignettes along
with frames bursting with plants, flowers, and other busy bunnies attend
the drama of the egg. Watercolors and gouache with added airbrush
background produce these delightfully attractive characters and
settings. A foldout is needed to display the Easter Bunny's wagon pulled
by golden chickens. And the moral should be clear to young readers. This children's book is for kids reading levels ages 4-8. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Let us know what other children's books you would like to have reviewed. Share this post with your friends. Remember to always praise and encourage your child.
