Hippity Skippity Easter

Maria Fleming. Cartwheel Books, $3.5 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-439-56417-5

Bunny delivers Easter eggs to all his woodland friends in the paperback original Hippity Skippity Easter by Maria Fleming, illus. by Katy Bratun. This rhyming text follows Bunny's rollicking journey: ""Hippity High. Hippity Low. Hippity, zippity. Go! Go! Go!"" Bunny's enthusiasm deflates when he accidentally trips over his friend Turtle and breaks all his eggs. But his friends come together to give the dejected rabbit an Easter surprise.
