Ann Estelle stars as the Queen of Easter by Mary Engelbreit-but it doesn't start out that way. The heroine's mother brings home a plain straw hat with a blue ribbon for the Easter Parade-not quite what the girl had in mind. But a little ingenuity goes a long way, and, with the Ann Estelle paper doll at book's end, readers can help the girl model her Easter bonnet and springtime dress.
