Add this book to your collection: The Easter Egg by Jan Brett
This is a unique collection of 9 stories that I consider to be sweetly abstract.
Book 4 takes place in Egypt where the Cahill siblings (Dan and Amy) find themselves exploring ancient tombs, studying hieroglyphics, meeting old family friends who had connections with their deceased grandmother, and having major run-ins with members of their extended family (rivalry is big in this book).
The following books have been carefully selected to honor modern day Easter celebrations—Easter eggs, Easter egg hunts, bunnies, and chocolate—and the fruitful season of spring.
Add this book to your collection: Truckery Rhymes by Jon Scieszka
George’s curiosity, which can sometimes be mistaken for mischief, takes George on a new and captivating adventure coast-to-coast in an attempt to reunite a young elephant with her family.
