Review:
A family of mice dressed in
their fancy Easter garb are ready to enjoy a beautiful spring day hunting for
colorful Easter eggs. But, one mouse gets a little sidetracked and spends his
time sniffing flowers, playing in a mud puddle and splashing in a stream. When
everyone gathers to count how many eggs they’ve found the playful mouse didn’t
have a single egg. In a panic, he ran to find one and he did. It was a plain
egg with a pleasant surprise inside. Can you guess what it could be?
Author Bethany Roberts has
created a delightful Easter tale with lots of fun bouncing words. Illustrator
Doug Cushman’s colorful illustrations are bright and cheery. Parents and
teachers can discuss the Easter holiday, egg hunting and staying on task.
