The Easter Egg Factory

"The expressive narrator charms the listener by impersonating the characters...Short segments of music and brief sound effects add interest." - Booklist

Everyone prepares for the Chief Easter Bunny's visit. He will choose whose eggs will become Easter eggs, as well as who will be in charge of the Easter egg factory this year.

A charming play set brings a classic Easter tale to life and features Peter Cottontail, his adorable kids, house, factory, and lots of Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies to hide in tiny slots in a colorful, three-dimensional scene.

Pauline the hen lays unusual eggs, but Mrs. Pennywort, her owner, thinks they're beautiful, and she and Pauline work together to open an Easter egg farm.

Go behind the scenes of Mr Bunny's chocolate factory! An irresistible look at the workings of Mr Bunny's chocolate factory! Packed with cross-over humour to amuse kids and big kids too with artwork full of details for poring over time and time again. Still a new kid on the block, Elys Dolan has already been shortlisted for The Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Waterstones Children's Book Prize, and nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal. The perfect picture book for Easter, but also with a great all-year round appeal.

Time is up for the Easter Bunny, his magical powers have left him and been passed on to his eldest son, Eggbert. Eggbert is horrified; he wants to be a superhero, not the Easter Bunny delivering boring chocolate eggs. His younger brother Eggward is also furious. He desperately wanted to be the Easter Bunny. He loves inventing things and is delighted when Eggbert can't use the magic and can only make a few odd shaped chocolate eggs. As for flying, his feet remain firmly on the ground! Father Bunny is very worried, if Eggbert doesn't take control of the magic and make more eggs, Easter which is fast approaching, will have to be cancelled! No chocolate eggs for anyone!

Colorfully decorated like Easter eggs, and nestled in a backer, the 12 miniature books found in this story book set--that's cleverly fashioned like a basket--are meant to be hidden on Easter morning and then, when they're all found, to be read in sequence.

At Eastertime, the most important holiday in the Christian world, religious processions in many Latin American countries pass over ornate street "carpets" fashioned from colored sawdust, flowers and fruit. Children in Finland and Sweden dress as "Easter witches." In the Caribbean, those who swim on Good Friday risk bad luck. In the Philippines, some penitents volunteer to be crucified. In some European countries, Easter Monday is the day for dousing women with water. With 240 entries, this book explores these and scores of other unusual and sometimes bizarre international Holy Week customs, both sacred and secular, from pilgrimages to Jerusalem to classic seasonal films and television specials.

The idea of this book took root about fifty years ago. A 6-year old boy, taking a walk with his father in a city park, called out, "Daddy, look in this hole. There is an acorn and a pinecone. They must be friends," AND THEY ARE! IN: THE ADVENTURES OF ACORN AND PINECONE. These stories, told to dozens of "little people," since then, give human names to many creatures, both above and below ground. Some of them are: Mrs. Fruitsnips, Father Corn, Tessy Termite, Roly Poly and Mayor Catalpa. Each story carries an imbedded moral and/or ethical value. It is humorous, serious and wonderfully illustrated, and a complete fantasy from the mind of the author who is now 87 and the father of that little boy.
