The Golden Egg Book

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. The Golden Egg Book would be ideal for children in the 2-5 years age group.
