Baby-Toddler–In this springtime twist on Santa Claus’s North Pole workshop, a gregarious bunny walks readers through a festive workshop where cute roly-poly chicks are hard at work assembling lavish Easter baskets. They fill and paint eggs, make baskets out of straw and string, and work with a big machine that makes jelly beans. The simple rhymes are easy to read: “One by one, we gently fill/ each basket to the brim,/ then add the final touches—/ with bows and ribbon trim.” Charming illustrations, each replete with details to linger over, are a visual feast for young readers, who will ask to read this lively story again and again.
VERDICT An easy, energetic holiday book to linger over.
