This newly illustrated edition of The Legend of the Easter Egg renews the wonder and charm of the original timeless tale that explores the meaning behind Easter eggs and the Easter story itself. Written by Lori Walburg with vibrant artwork from Marley and Me illustrator, Richard Cowdrey, this holiday classic comes to life for a new generation. One April morning when the air was soft and sweet, a boy and his sister went outside to gather eggs. “Easter’s coming,” the sister said. “Let’s pretend we’re hunting Easter eggs.” “What are Easter eggs?” the boy asked. When Thomas’s older sister Lucy falls ill, Thomas goes to live with the Sonnemans in their candy shop. He gets to eat peppermint sticks, fill candy jars, and weigh chocolate on the tippy scales, but he misses Lucy. When Easter comes, Mrs. Sonneman gives Thomas his first chocolate egg and Thomas learns the true meaning behind Easter eggs, the empty tomb, and the hope found in Jesus. This classic story of faith, love, and wonder is sure to be a treasured reminder of the miracle of Easter.
My Review:
This book is awesome!  Since we reviewed "The Legend of the Candy Cane" by the same author this book was the next one using the same characters from the other book.   Read my review of that story HERE.  Just like the Christmas book the pictures in this story are fantastic.   The story starts off a little slow before it gets to the Easter message but once it gets to the Easter Eggs and message of Christ it is an emotional but loving book.  I will be sharing this story with my Children's church kids!  


Brother and Sister love science. But when their friend Ferdy Factual shares his questions about God creating the universe, the cubs are confused. A trip to see Preacher Brown helps them understand the meaning of faith.  When Brother and Sister Bear’s friend Ferdy Factual tells them he doesn’t believe God created the world, the Bear cubs don’t know what to think. What does it mean to have faith? Can Preacher Brown help? Common Core Standards: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.K.1 With prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.
