Easter Bunny Loose! by Wendy Wax- ADVISABLE



Wax, Wendy Easter Bunny Loose! Illustrated by Dave Garbot. 32 pgs. Harper Collins, 2013. $7.99. PICTURE BOOK.  We love to snuggle up to a great “seek and find” picture book.  This was one of our favorites.  In addition to looking for hidden pictures like a green frog hidden in every scene, this book also came with a mystery challenge.  There is an emergency in Easterville.  Someone has stolen the Easter Bunny’s Golden Egg.  The Easter Bunny is on the lookout for clues that the egg-snatcher has left behind.  The reader must figure out who the snatcher is.  At first glance, the book seems almost too easy.  But a few pages in, we realized our initial guess was incorrect and we had no idea who stole the Golden Egg!  We even had our 17 year old try to solve the mystery and it was hilarious watching his initial confidence subside as he didn’t solve the mystery until almost the final page!  We really enjoyed this book.  The illustrations are detailed and adorable. This book is a great addition to your Easter collection.  EL (K-3).  ADVISABLE.  Reviewer: SL
