Children's Literature
AGERANGE: Ages 3 to 5.
Mouseville residents are all excited by the upcoming Easter festivities. The mayor has announced that there will be an egg rolling contest, Easter egg hunt, and a contest to see who can create the biggest Easter basket. Clayton and Desmond are each determined to win and they prepare really big baskets, but when they check out those of their friends they realize that the others are about the same size. The solution becomes fairly obvious--Desmond and Clayton decide to cooperate and together with their families they do build the biggest and best Easter basket. The friends win the contest and share all the goodies with those who are participating in the festivities. The added attraction in this book is the series of foil egg stickers (for which there is no explanation or apparent use in the book). Reviewer: Marilyn Courtot
