(4) K-3 Translated by Rosemary Lanning. Illustrated by Eve Tharlet. When Davy and his rabbit siblings can't find the Easter Bunny in the woods, Davy surprises his disappointed siblings with gifts of his own. The illustrations' muted tones suit this simple Swiss import about generosity. Although Davy's fans probably won't mind, the plot leaves an important question unanswered--who left Davy's Easter gift? Younger readers may be confused by the abrupt ending.
