About the Author and Illustrator

Wake up, Bunny. Move those legs.
You’ve not much time to hide those eggs!
By dawn the kids will want to search.
Please,
please
don’t leave them in the lurch.

Baby crawls across the floor.
What is that by the mouse door?

Pam looks high, Tom looks low.
Max looks in the mailbox row.

Timid Tom isn’t certain
There is an egg behind the curtain.

Alexandra has no doubt
Her egg is in the waterspout.

Lily sniffs a daffodil,
Sees an egg on the windowsill.

One egg high up in the tree
Does not stop brave Annie Lee.

Priscilla loves the color pink.
“This egg’s made for me, I think!”
