Four bunnies set off to find 10 hidden Easter eggs. "We're going on an egg hunt./We're going to find them all…" The familiar singsong rhythm of the refrain is perfect for reading aloud. Along the way, the bunnies come upon various obstacles, such as lambs, chicks, bees, ducks, and a semiscary animal at the end. Readers can look for evidence of the surprise villain's bushy tail or snout in the background, foreshadowing the inevitable meeting between the bunnies and their pursuer. Through watercolor and ink in largely pastel pinks, blues, and yellows, Hughes evokes a nostalgic, folksy tone. And readers will enjoy making the traditional animal noises with each new creature they encounter. Some flaps reveal Easter eggs to count, and some include unusual animals (Easter eggs of a different kind). Careful inspection will show that each uniquely decorated egg ends up in one of the bunnies' baskets for further counting opportunities. VERDICT Young listeners will be entertained by the recognizable pattern from the classic bear hunt and the holiday-adjacent material. A solid addition to larger holiday collections.—Eva Thaler-Sroussi, Glencoe Public Library, IL “A holiday read that is cheerfully chaotic and energetically well calculated” ― The Observer “The illustrations are lovely and spring-like, with lots to spot and discuss; the book will make a lovely alternative gift for Easter” ― Parents in Touch Martha Mumford has loved children's books forever.
