Product Description
Jan Brett’s lovable bunny hero, Hoppi, and her remarkable Easter Rabbit will enchant readers as they pore over illustrations filled with dazzling eggs made by Flora Bunny, Aunt Sassyfrass and others.
If Hoppi can make the best Easter egg, he will get to help the Easter Rabbit deliver the eggs on Easter morning. But it is not so simple. Discouraged, he goes into the woods to reflect when a blue robin’s egg tumbles out of its nest. Hoppi keeps it safe and warm until the baby bird hatches, and when the Easter Rabbit arrives, he chooses the empty blue eggshell to reward Hoppi for his kindness.
Spring is everywhere in gorgeous illustrations framed with pussy willows, flowering vines and flowers. Side limits feature busy rabbits building their unusual eggs and, in a border above, the Robin’s family tree drama unfolds.
A gatefold surprise reveals the Easter Rabbit.

This was my first Jan Brett and I was not disappointed. The tale is so cute and of course the illustrations are perfectly detailed and charming. Can’t recommend enough!

This is a delightful Easter book. The pictures are very detailed. Kids (and adults) will delight in reading this. I bought three copies to share!

Leader/illustrator Jan Brett has made a visual feast in her newest book. While the illustrations retain Brett’s lush, complex style, this book appears to be an homage to the gorgeous Easter postcards printed in Germany in the 19th century. From the title design on the take in to the hens who pull the Easter Bunny’s cart, you can nearly picture the antique cards which must have inspired Brett.
The tale is sweet – a small boy bunny finds his own special contribution to Easter – and deceptively simple. While on the surface the book is a strictly secular tale, the theme of loving sacrifice could be used to tie this tale back into the Christian Easter tale.
This one is a keeper – as most of Brett’s books are.

This book was bought for my granddaughter. We painstakingly loved the book and the tale it conveyed about selflessness and helping others. The illustrations and the additional inset illustrations were perfectly done. Jan Brett has won my seal of praise. We will surely be looking for more of her books for the grandchildren.

With the arrival of spring, Hoppi looks forwards to decorating an Easter egg. He hopes to help the Easter Rabbit hide this year’s eggs. Despite the wisdom of the additional rabbits, Hoppi can’t find a way to decorate his own egg, until a baby robin egg falls out of Mother Robin’s nest. Hoppi keeps the baby robin’s egg warm beneath his fur, until at last, on Easter, the baby bird hatches, leaving Hoppi to join the Easter Rabbit in hiding all of the eggs. This pleased Easter tale will be a favorite among 3-6-year-olds.
