The Easter Rabbit's Parade

Lois Lenski. Random House Books for Young Readers, $12.95 (40pp) ISBN 978-0-375-82748-8

Lois Lenski's The Easter Rabbit's Parade, originally published in 1936, returns to print in hardcover. Ann Eliza takes care of her farmyard animals all year round, so the animals decide to make Easter very special for her. With some help from the boisterous, bumbling and occasionally rude Easter Bunny, the animals pull together a lovely celebration. The vintage illustrations are particularly pleasing.
