Ernest's First Easter

This Swiss import offers a behind-the-scenes look at what happens Easter morning. Ernest is training to be an Easter Bunny, and he's assigned to Tommy's house for a tryout. There's a moment of tension as Tommy's dog, Fred, arrives, but Fred is friendly and helps Ernest find the perfect spot for Tommy's eggs. After the promising buildup, the hiding place may seem less-than-special to readers, though Weldin's warm paintings give the story atmosphere. Ages 3–up. (Jan.)
