Easter mice is an awesome child book on Easter that
beautifully expresses the experience of three mice that have been sent
for egg hunting by their mother. This storybook has been written by
Bethany Roberts and illustrated by Doug Cushman. The main character in
the story is the youngest mouse, who gets lost in the beauty of spring
season and amidst all, he forgets that the prime motive of his roaming
is to hunt for eggs.
He gets busy savoring the flavors of springtime green leaves and
gorgeous flowers. When the mother mouse gathers her three sons, the
little one gets upset, because he is the only one who has come empty
hand. So, he runs away and while wandering, he comes across a special
egg that cracks and an Easter friend appears. The way the writer has
expressed the younger one's expressions, it is simply mind-blowing. It
is a very narrative story that uses a combination of wonderful
illustrations and bouncy rhyming phrases. This book is an excellent
Easter gift for kids in the age group of 3 to 6 years.
