As an educator, I look for quality books for my daughters. I have yet to grow tired of reading this story to my children. I especially like the idea of Fuzzytail going home at the end of his busy day, emphasizing the importance of family. If you enjoy Lisa McCue's writing style, you will not be disappointed.

My 1-year-old daughter LOVES Puppy PeekaBoo, so I ordered The Fuzzytail Friends Great Egg Hunt from the internet, since it is also a Peek-A-Board Book. My daughter loves it, and we read in more than once in a sitting. She likes the pictures and the peek a boo holes to see what's on the next page. The animals in the book are very cute and fluffy-looking. I definitely recommend this book if you have a child from 6 months on up.

I've had this for several years, and finally after a few false starts we actually completed this "calendar" this year. The kids love getting to place the reusable vinyl stikers on the sturdy backround. The imagery and symbolism is rich, and accompianied by references to bible verses. It encouraged us to keep celebrating the whole Easter season, which isn't practiced often enough.

John R.W. Stott, Richard C. Halverson, D. Elton Trueblood, Ray C. Stedman, John R. Claypool, David Poling, Charles H. Huffman, Raymond C. Ortlund, John A Huffman, Jr., Reuben Job, David L. McKenna, Richard P. Langford, George A. Buttrick, Charlie W. Shedd, and the editor -- all offer sermons/meditations on the real meaning of Easter. Good resource for preachers!

I can't believe that no one has reviewed this book! What a cute story that is thoroughly engaging for little ones and fun to read out loud as well. The witty storytelling is suburb with just the right amount of suspense and great twists. The narrator even addresses the audience, which definitely adds to the appeal and lends an oral storytelling feel to the experience. It is also noteworthy that there is a happily-ever-after ending for everyone -- no violence in store for the gingerbread bunny! :) The black and white illustrations are adorable as well. My girls 4 and 6 really loved the book and I'm sure we'll be reading it again soon. Extend the fun by baking gingerbread rabbits and recreating the surprise that the mother made for her daughter! It is too bad that a classic like this is apparently overlooked! I will definitely be adding more of Randall Jarrell's books to our collection!

This book is a simple retelling of Christ's ascension into Heaven. It is very good to read to 2-3-yr.-old children. Mrs. Nederveld does a good job of making the story succint while still engaging the child's interest.

I found this book is a great way to end the day. I am not a fan of poetry books but I believe it should be in everyone's library

Young Tommy awakes on Easter morning to find that his clever Aunt Jeanne is leading him on another one of her holiday-themed journeys. This one, however, leaves Tommy following a white rabbit in a pink vest through an Easter wonderland. Throughout Tommy's adventure, he meets up with a 10-foot-tall chocolate rabbit, encounters an egg factory, is introduced to a noisy jelly bean machine, and even attends an Easter Parade down Fifth Avenue. One that features many things that don't belong, such as Santa Claus, and a leprechaun. But it's not until Tommy makes it to the egg-shaped palace of the Great Easter Bunny that he is reunited with his beloved Aunt Jeanne.

Michael Garland is not only a talented artist, but wonderful at creating a holiday-themed I SPY-esque book that will keep young readers occupied for hours upon hours as they search for various hidden pictures. Tommy is a fun character who follows an adorable white bunny - a la ALICE IN WONDERLAND - in an attempt to meet up with the Great Easter Bunny himself, as well as his aunt. Garland shows here that he is a talented prose-writer, and weaves an entertaining story that must be read over and over again. THE GREAT EASTER EGG HUNT is the perfect gift to leave in your young readers Easter basket this year.

This was a great purchase for my 2 yr. old son. He loved the colorful pictures and finding the "hidden golden eggs" on all the pages. It is a nice, sturdy board book for small hands. I am very pleased & happy with purchasing this delightful book! I highly recommend it for this upcoming Easter!
