Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The creators of Pick a Pine Tree and Pick a Pumpkin return with another seasonal celebration, one that deserves a spot in every Easter basket.
Pick a perfect egg with care--
Choose a white one nestled there.
Gather more and softly stack them.
Just be cautious not to crack them!
Pairing Jarvis's joyous illustrations with Patricia Toht's wonderfully rhythmic text, this holiday ode hops through a busy springtime day all the way to Easter Sunday. From the farm where you've carefully selected your eggs--eggs perfect for drawing on with crayon, for plopping into dyes and bejeweling--follow along as preparations continue for the much-awaited festivities. Then on Sunday, open your door and search for eggs of a different kind, filled with foil-wrapped chocolate, spinning tops, and jelly beans. This cheerful Easter-time read-aloud captures all the excitement of the holiday and is sure to become part of a new treasured tradition.
"When spring arrives, it's time to visit the farm to pickout some eggs, perfect for decorating. Bring your eggs home, taking care not to crack them, and find a pot big enough to fit them all. While the eggs are cooling and drying, get ready for some dyeing! Then on Easter morning, fling open your door and search for eggs of a different kind, filledwith foil-wrapped chocolate, spinning tops, and jelly beans. And those perfect eggs you dyed the day before? They are no longer just eggs, of course: they're Easter eggs!"-- Front jacket flap.
