This is a cute story about a rabbit who wants to create the best Easter egg ever so he can hide the eggs with the Easter Bunny. I used this book in my first grade placement to teach characters. I read the story aloud to the whole group, then each student came to my small group to describe the main character on a handout. For my hook, I showed pictures on my iPad of characters they already know from television and books like Spongebob Squarepants and Junie B. Jones. As spring approaches quickly this year, I picked up some spring theme books at the library. I am so happy I picked up The Easter Egg by Jan Brett. This is a beautiful picture book for nursery and primary readers. Brett tells a wonderful story about bunnies who are trying to decorate the best Ester egg with hopes to help the Easter Bunny deliver his eggs. Hoppi feels like he cannot win and gets discouraged. He tends to a robin’s egg that fell from the nest and doesn't realize that he has made the most beautiful Easter egg imaginable! Such a cute story about being a nice person (or bunny he he.) The book is continuously filled with very detailed springy illustrations. Vegetation, flowers, decorated eggs, and fluffy bunnies surely appeal to young children. There are multiple ways to use this book while instructing children. Spring, Easter, and good character are a few things that can be taken from this magnificent story.
