A+ Book

I received this book from a friend at a shower thrown for me by my book group. From the time my son started knowing what books were and began to enjoy them, this has been his book of choice. I have actually just purchased a second copy for him (he's ripped a couple of pages in the original copy) that I plan to set aside. I also just ordered it to give to a little friend of his even though it's not Easter season. The pictures are so beautifully illustrated, the verse is fun to read (and hear) and the "hidden" eggs behind the flaps build anticipation.I highly recommend this book.

The Golden Egg

I absolutely loved this book! The illustrations were full of beauty and color. The children loved to read along by saying the color of the egg before I flipped the the flap showing it.I read this book to a group of children 3-5, they along with me highly recomend this book.

I actually picked up a copy of this book while traveling......loved it so much, I'm ordering additional copies. It is one of the nicest Easter books for young children I have ever seen.

The Golden Egg

This is a really nice childrens story, about easter eggs. It will also help teach colors. The illustrations in this book are phenomenal!The book held all the childrens attention, even the 2 year olds. The best part of the book is the artwork.

The Golden Egg, illustrated by Maggie Kneen

This book is a beautifully illustrated children's Easter book. It caught my attention in the book store above any other Easter books that were on the shelf, so it will surely catch the attention of a child with its brilliantly decorated easter eggs on every page.
