COPY ISBN
PreS-Gr 1–Battigelli and Anderson celebrate Easter traditions while providing insight and help for little ones running into the common mishaps that come along with the holiday. With friends, a spilled Easter basket and difficulties in finding treats are easily resolved. The lovely illustrations awash in sweet pastels are reminiscent of dyed eggs. The end papers outline the steps for dyeing eggs (with adult help, of course). Rhyming text paired with jewel-tone images will encourage children to read and rhyme along using picture clues. The truly courageous can pair this with an egg-coloring project.
VERDICT Purchase for large collections and include in Easter or spring holidays programming/displays.
