(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stéphane Jorisch. After realizing her older siblings are helping her find Easter eggs, Betty Bunny insists on searching by herself, but she's upset when she only finds one. Her parents reassure her that doing things independently is part of growing up--a lesson Betty mischievously turns to her own advantage in the humorous ending. The lively illustrations are appropriately rendered in an Easter-egg palette.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stéphane Jorisch. Betty Bunny is back in her fourth gentle lesson-based book. This time, when she takes up soccer, she expects to score ten goals just like that. Playing in a real game, however, is quite different. Her siblings, portrayed realistically and comically, urge her to keep practicing. Lively illustrations add to the humor of Betty's reasoning and her can-do determination.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stéphane Jorisch. When Betty Bunny breaks a lamp by mistake, she blames it on the Tooth Fairy. "Is that the honest truth?" her mother wants to know--"No...it's an honest lie." With humor and some delightful twists, Betty Bunny learns the importance of telling the truth. The peppy ink and watercolor illustrations give Betty and her siblings lots of personality.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stéphane Jorisch. When Betty Bunny's mother says she can have one new toy, Betty fills an entire shopping cart: "But I want everything I want." Children will relate to Betty's desire to have it all; parents may cringe at her bratty scheme to get her way, but youngsters won't. Energetic ink and watercolor illustrations add comical details to Betty's over-the-top shopping trip.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stéphane Jorisch. Betty Bunny doesn't like new foods as a rule. When she tastes chocolate cake, though, it's love at first bite: "I am going to marry chocolate cake!" She ferrets away a slice and winds up with a chocolate mess in her pocket. Jorisch renders the bunny's reaction perfectly with a delicate line, colorful palette, and enough detail to match Kaplan's clever text.
