(4) K-3 Translated by Marianne Martens. Illustrated by Alexandra Junge. Because her chick wants to hatch on Easter, Hilda the hen must figure out exactly what day that will be. Max the owl helps her keep track of time until Easter arrives--"the first Sunday after the first full moon that comes after the first day of spring." The illustrations give Hilda and her chick plenty of personality, but the story feels contrived.
