R Sugden: This is a favorite Easter story in our family. This is actually our second copy; our original copy was a board book but I decided I wanted a full sized copy because Jan Brett’s illustrations are so beautiful. She is an amazing artist and has published many beautiful books, but in this one she truly goes above and beyond. My kids love looking at the “other” story that’s going on in the margins of the book, and her details are just fantastic. We also love the moral of the story: that helping another, even at the cost of what you may want, is beautiful and worth celebrating.

MamaT: I read this to my children during Easter time and it is a sweet story but the illustration is what steals the show here. So intricate! We will be pulling this out every Easter to come.

Amazon Customer: I love Jan Brett’s illustrations and this book didn’t disappoint. And the story line was cute. It teaches to put others first which is so rare these days.

Christina Findlay: Simple and fun story about an Easter egg painting competition. Many beautiful eggs are featured. The Easter colours fave the art a more youthful feel, whereas with the author’s other stories, I feel her formal style and colour palette is more geared towards the adult eye. Story dawdles a bit. I think it could have been a couple pages shorter. My favourite page was the one where the Easter bunny arrives. I love his outfit and carriage. Would recommend.

Crostolina: Ho solo alcuni libri di Jan Brett e ne prenderò di sicuro altri. Il lavoro artistico è tanto e di qualità. Niente copia/incolla di foto modificate in qualche modo, ma tanto lavoro. Nel frontespizio della copertina alla fine, spiega quali razze di conigli e galline ha usato come modelli (all'inizio cita anche i nomi). Per me che sono un'amante dei conigli è molto interessante. I disegni delle varie razze di conigli, sono stupendi, veramente belli. L'abbigliamento di ognuno è fantastico, gli strumenti usati per creare le varie uova e i cesti per trasportarle bellissimi. Le varie uova sono fantasiose e bellissime. Se si guarda il libro con più attenzione e lentezza, sui lati c'e "un'altra storia" di personaggi e delle loro uova, particolareggiate e curate. C'è addirittura un coniglio che decora 2 uova con la stessa fantasia del suo giubbetto e di ciò che ha sotto. Le figure laterali sono contenute in una sorta di cornice di rami e fiori e non ce c'è una uguale all'altra, veramente un gran lavoro. Il carro con le galline é strepitoso, paragonabile solo a certe slitte con renne di Babbo Natale. La storia è basata sull'usanza del Coniglio Pasquale che va a distribuire le uova...

Gines Carrillo Cava: Un precioso libro en inglés para los días de Semana Santa, basado en la tradición de países del norte de Europa, y que permite dar una visión de la Pascua que no sea la meramente religiosa. La historia es bonita y simple, y las ilustraciones son una maravilla. Fácil de leer el inglés, y fácil de traducir al castellano en caso de que se desee leer a niños pequeños que no entiendan el inglés.
