 The
Easter Egg
by Jan Brett
Ages 3–5
All the rabbits in this charming
book are busily decorating eggs, hoping to win the
prize of being named the Easter Rabbit’s helper.
Hoppi would really like to win, but he is discouraged
by the wonderful creations by the other rabbits.
Then a robin’s egg falls from the nest, and Hoppi
is too busy keeping the egg safe and warm to worry
about the contest. When the egg hatches, the Easter
Rabbit rewards his kindness by choosing the discarded
blue eggshell as the winning egg. This sweet story
celebrating spring will enchant young readers.
