Easter is considered to be a very auspicious occasion in the Christian
fraternity. It is also known as Easter Sunday as it lies two days after Good
Friday. This is the day when Christ returned back to his people after death.
This is why this day is considered to be a day of hope and celebrations. On this
occasion, Christian people all over the world engage in merry making and
celebrations. They organize a grand feast and also exchange gifts. Gifting
Easter special book to children is also popular tradition of Easter
celebrations. One of the most popular books of them is The Golden Egg.
Originally published in 1947, The Golden Egg Book written by Margaret Wise Brown
has been a much beloved Easter book for generations of young children. This book
about a lonely bunny and his antics with an unhatched egg, has lost none of its
appeal after all these years, and is known to be a perennial favorite among
parents as Easter gifts for their children. The story unfolds when a little
bunny stumbles upon a beautiful blue egg. The bunny becomes curious as he could
hear something moving inside the egg. His imagination runs wild and the
impatient bunny tries to shake, push, and even jump on the egg in his attempts
to break it. But all his efforts go in vain as the stubborn egg refuses to
budge.
The mystery unravels at last when the egg begins to hatch and much to the
bunny's surprise, a little duck comes out. The bunny and the duck become
friends. Besides the lively story, Leonard Weisgard's lush watercolors help the
Golden Egg Book capture the imagination of tiny-toddlers. They are extremely
catchy and leave an everlasting impression on kids. The Golden Egg Book would be
ideal for children in the 3-7 years age group. The book has an interesting
narration and thus, it holds the attention of the kids for long. It is a nice
bedtime story book as it includes an interesting story line and a lot of thrill.
You kid would simply love it!
