Illustrated by
Doug Cushman.
While his brothers vie to see who can find the most Easter eggs, a young mouse joyfully explores the spring day. His enthusiasm is dampened when he discovers he is the only one without an Easter egg. Discouraged, he tries again and finds a hatching turtle egg. Originally published as a picture book, the text and illustrations work in this format. Though the choppy rhyming text isn't inspiring, the energetic watercolor illustrations are inviting.
