Easter Parade

Irving Berlin. HarperCollins Publishers, $15.99 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-06-029125-9

Bunnies and baskets and... a frog? Oh my! A pair of Easter offerings puts a twist on tradition. A father sings the praises of his daughter and her bonnet (""Oh, I could write a sonnet/ About your Easter bonnet"") as they prepare to promenade in Irving Berlin's classic Easter Parade, recast as a picture book illustrated by Lisa McCue. Complete lyrics and piano score with guitar chords close the cheerful volume.
