Description
This off-beat spring story about a chick who won't hatch until it's Easter is bound to bring a smile.
Hilda the Hen’s beautiful egg doesn’t hatch. Instead the talking egg asks: “Mother when is Easter?” Hilda can’t believe her ears. But when is Easter? Sometimes it’s in March, sometimes it’s in April. The date changes every year. Why? Hilda needs to find out because her baby chick is determined to be born on Easter Sunday. So she sets out to discover the secret and—with some advice from a wise owl—create an Easter dream come true in this delightful holiday story.
Adding to the fun is a bunny seek-and-find, with rabbits hidden in many of the pictures for youngsters to find.
“With art that offers comedy, hidden pictures, a little science (the phases of the moon) and the possibility of religious discussion, this book is definitely worth a good look.”—Publishers Weekly
