  About the Author and Illustrator

  Wake up, Bunny. Move those legs.

  You’ve not much time to hide those eggs!

  By dawn the kids will want to search.

  Please, please don’t leave them in the lurch.

  Baby crawls across the floor.

  What is that by the mouse door?

  1 egg

  Pam looks high, Tom looks low.

  Max looks in the mailbox row.

  2 eggs

  Timid Tom isn’t certain

  There is an egg behind the curtain.

  3 eggs

  Alexandra has no doubt

  Her egg is in the waterspout.

  4 eggs

  Lily sniffs a daffodil,

  Sees an egg on the windowsill.

  One egg high up in the tree

  Does not stop brave Annie Lee.

  Priscilla loves the color pink.

  “This egg’s made for me, I think!”

  7 eggs

  Pam looks in the tulip pots,

  Finds an egg with polka dots.

  8 eggs

  The garden statue hides a treat,

  A starry egg for little Pete.

  9 eggs

  And now for something really delicious,

  A big chocolate egg for sweet Aloysius.

  10 eggs

  Bunny, you have done your part.

  Now the parade’s about to start.

  It’s time for all the kids to sing,

  “Happy Easter! Hello, spring!”
