If Hoppi can make the best Easter egg, he will get to help the Easter Rabbit with his deliveries on Easter morning. But it is not so easy. Discouraged, the little bunny walks into the woods, sees a blue robin's egg tumble from its nest, and makes the choice that changes his whole Easter: he keeps it safe and warm until the baby bird hatches.

This is Jan Brett at her most Jan Brett: gorgeous illustrations framed in pussy willows and flowering vines, side borders where busy rabbits craft their own remarkable eggs, and a robin family's drama unfolding above the main story. When the Easter Rabbit finally arrives, Hoppi's kindness is rewarded in a way small listeners find deeply satisfying.

This is the sturdy board book edition of her springtime favorite, sized 6.25 x 7 inches for toddler hands, with the publisher's age guidance of 0 to 3. It slips into an Easter basket as neatly as any chocolate egg, and it lasts a great deal longer.
