Overview

Jan Brett’s lovable bunny hero, Hoppi, and her remarkable Easter Rabbit will enchant readers as they pore over illustrations filled with dazzling eggs made by Flora Bunny, Aunt Sassyfrass and others.

If Hoppi can make the best Easter egg, he will get to help the Easter Rabbit deliver the eggs on Easter morning. But it is not so easy. Discouraged, he goes into the woods to think when a blue robin’s egg tumbles out of its nest. Hoppi keeps it safe and warm until the baby bird hatches, and when the Easter Rabbit arrives, he chooses the empty blue eggshell to reward Hoppi for his kindness.

Spring is everywhere in gorgeous illustrations framed with pussy willows, flowering vines and flowers. Side borders feature busy rabbits making their unusual eggs and, in a border above, the Robin’s family drama unfolds.

A gatefold surprise reveals the Easter Rabbit.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
It is springtime. Hoppi, a young bunny, would like to win the right to help the Easter Rabbit hide the eggs by decorating the winning egg. He needs an "amazing idea" for his first egg ever. Searching, he passes other bunnies at work, making eggs with flowers, from carved wood, chocolate, and Granny Ireney makes "fabulous story eggs." Overwhelmed by the possibilities, Hoppi decides to, "...just make an egg I am proud of." Just then, an egg tumbles from Mother Robin's nest. It must be kept warm until it hatches. Through days and nights, Hoppi never leaves it. For this good deed, the Easter Rabbit chooses him for a place of honor on Easter. The front jacket/cover portrait of our nattily jacketed hero surrounded by a frame of decorated eggs, plus the five bunnies at work on the eggs in a similar frame on the back introduce the double pages of the highly detailed, naturalistic scenes. Additional vignettes along with frames bursting with plants, flowers, and other busy bunnies attend the drama of the egg. Watercolors and gouache with added airbrush background produce these delightfully attractive characters and settings. A foldout is needed to display the Easter Bunny's wagon pulled by golden chickens. And the moral should be clear to young readers. Reviewer: Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz
Publishers Weekly
Brett's finely detailed watercolor and gouache art is a showstopper, spotlighting lifelike—though nattily clad—rabbits decorating eggs in hopes of winning the role of the Easter Rabbit's helper. Hoppi is awed by bunnies' creations, which include an ornate chocolate egg and a “whirling, twirling mechanical egg.” But when an egg tumbles out of a robin's nest, he keeps it safe until the baby bird hatches. Borders of twigs, pussy willows, daffodils, and ferns add greatly to the warm, visually sumptuous setting of this gentle spring story. Ages 3–5. (Feb.)

A satisfying, gentle tale whose text and images can be enjoyed multiple times over.
School Library Journal
K-Gr 2—A bunny hopes he will win the Easter egg decorating contest and thus gain the honor of helping the Easter Rabbit hide the eggs on Easter morning. The other rabbits in his neighborhood are busy working on their entries, each one more dazzling than the last, and Hoppi needs an inspiration. At last, he decides that the most important thing is to make something he will be proud of. He hops off into the woods, where he finds a robin's fallen egg. The bunny generously offers to guard it while the mother tends to the eggs remaining in her nest. On the contest day, the Easter Rabbit commends the crowd of rabbits for their beautiful creations, but then says "a very special one is not here." He hurries off into the woods to bring Hoppi back to the glen, where he reveals that Hoppi has won the contest for his heroic efforts in protecting the egg. Brett's elegant watercolor and gouache illustrations enhance this sweet story. Adorned with wreaths of flowers and decorative borders, the paintings bring to mind the romance of Victorian greeting cards. Each character is depicted as a distinctive breed of rabbit. The lovely pastel shades and lush pastoral details in the illustrations celebrate the beauty of spring. This book could be paired with Michael Garland's The Great Easter Egg Hunt (Dutton 2005).—Linda L. Walkins, Mount Saint Joseph Academy, Brighton, MA
Kirkus Reviews
Brett is in rare visual form in this tale of a bunny who hopes to win a prized opportunity to help the Easter Rabbit. Little Hoppi goes through his community seeking ideas for the winning decorated egg. The other bunnies, each of a different breed and elaborately costumed, are hard at work, but they give Hoppi some items that might help him. As he ponders the task, an egg tumbles out of Mother Robin's nest-so, Horton-like, he decides to protect it until it hatches, with completely predictable results. But if the story is a little lackluster, the sumptuous illustrations more than make up for it. Bordered in pussy-willow twigs (which sport their own surprise), each spread offers the illustrator's patented triptych construction, with panels detailing other bunnies' activities flanking an elaborate tableau. Luscious. (Picture book. 3-6)

    Wonderful book !!!

    I have followed Ms Brett for years, her stories are engaging and the artwork is some of the best I have ever seen. If you have little ones this is a book for them. If you have a love of a good read and beautiful art this is for you also.

    Although the story leads to an unexpected ending, the story is engaging, teaches a nice lesson and, as always, jan Bretts illustrations are totally awesome, altough this aspect may not be as appreciated by children as it is by adults.

    I expect so much more from Jan Brett

    This book was just not up to the standards that previous Jan Brett books have set for us. The artwork is without question beautiful, but the story simply did not engage my 3 1/2 year old did the way other's have in the past. She has not asked once for me to read it to her again. I will definitely pause before I automatically buy another of this author's books.

    Very Sweet

    This book is extremely visual. My son and I have so much fun just looking at the bright and colorful pictures on each page. We see something different every time we read it. And the story is a unique creation on how the Easter bunny does his job. I love that it incorporates many bunnies including the main character who finds out that doing the right thing in this book gives him the experience he wants most. What an enjoyable read!

    What beautiful illustrations!

    She said, "Oh, this is my favorite author!" when she opened the box that surprised her in the Saturday morning mail. My 7 year old niece couldn't wait to begin reading the Easter books I had sent, and this was the first she opened. Jan Brett certainly does it again with this intriguing story and the gorgeous paintings for which she is so famous. Spring is literally bursting through the illustrations of the birds and flowers and all things natural. I will give this book again and again.

    I have been buying Jan Brett's books since my daughter was little and now am buying them for my grandson. The illustrations are wonderful and, as usual, the additional story in the border is always such a bonus. I love her artwork and this book met all of my expectations.

    Another Winner for Jan Brett

    I've been buying Jan Brett books for my grandchildren for a number of years now. I am always one of the first to purchase her new books. This one is as wonderful as the past ones. I especially love the illustrations which are outstanding!

    These are classics and will remain with the children until they have children of their own and pass them on!
