Happy Easter, Mouse! (If You Give... Series)

Children's Literature - Joyce Rice

Mouse from If You Give a Mouse a Cookie is back to help our young readers find out who is hiding Easter eggs in his house. On the night before Easter, Mouse decorates some eggs to put in his Easter basket. The eggs are in all colors and all kinds of patterns. When Mouse wakes up on Easter morning, he finds that someone has left painted eggs all over his house, but they are not the eggs he decorated the night before. There are blue eggs under the rocking chair, red eggs on the counter, and green eggs on the table. The mystery is solved when Bunny pops out from behind the stash of eggs that Mouse has gathered. Children have fallen in love with Mouse and have followed his antics through the series of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and will be delighted to find this Easter adventure in their baskets on Easter morning or on their library shelves. Numeroff and Bond make a creative team in words and drawings for these young readers. Be sure this title is in your child's basket on Easter morning. Other titles in this series include If You Take a Mouse to the Movies and If You Give a Moose a Muffin.
