PreSchool-Grade 1–On a spring morning, a bespectacled rabbit asks a chicken if she will lay him an egg because he needs just one more. Demurring that shes too young for that particular skill, she takes him on a barnyard tour in search of an animal that will fill his request. Several residents are asked, including Horse, Pig, Sheep, Cow, and Mole but to no avail. Though unable to offer an egg, all of them explain what they do on the farm. After encountering a menacing wolf, Bunny and Chicken hightail it to the henhouse where more experienced female fowls encourage the young chick to lay an egg: All you have to do is press really hard. She makes the effort, succeeds, and presents her gift to Bunny. When she finally asks why he needs it, Bunnys response is: that is a secret. If readers miss the endpapers, the point of the story is completely lost. This is easy to do since part of the illustration is hidden by the dust jacket. The watercolor and pencil paintings are the highlight of the silly story, showing the sweet or humorous actions of the farm animals, including the chicken holding her beak in the pigsty while the piglets romp around. A pleasant, additional Easter tale.–Maryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WI
