Max's Chocolate Chicken
written and illustrated by Rosemary Wells HOLIDAY E WELLS
This is the charming story of two irresistible bunnies-- Max, and his older sister, Ruby. When mischievous Max cannot find any eggs on the egg hunt, he awards himself the prize, and eats the chocolate chicken anyway. Before Ruby gets too upset however, she finds a chocolate duck left for her by the ever-thoughtful Easter Bunny. I especially enjoyed the imaginative illustrations-- which beautifully convey the sentiments of these adorable bunnies.
