Minerva Louise and the Colorful Eggs
PreSchool-Grade 2–It is springtime and Minerva Louise, the feathered equivalent of Amelia Bedelia, becomes aware of several colorful, unattended eggs. She is also quite taken with the small farmers and how lovely they look in their fashionable attire. She doesnt know that she is observing an Easter egg hut; she is also unaware that her new hat is an Easter basket. She quizzes a chocolate Easter bunny, and she questions a marshmallow chick, but neither reply. Finally, Minerva Louise calls her fellow hens to her aid, but they are just relieved to see all the small farmers picking up the eggs, something they were used to seeing. In the end, Minerva Louise is also relieved and happy, and she selects a lovely egg-filled Easter basket for her nest. Preschoolers will delight in the commotion caused by the chickens merry meanderings, depicted in bright, clear colors in large, uncluttered scenes. An excellent, lighthearted lark that will charm readers and listeners alike.–Andrea Tarr, Corona Public Library, CACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
