Illustrated by
Sally Anne Lambert.
A white rabbit watches an elderly couple dye eggs, weave baskets, and make chocolate eggs, which they deliver to children on Easter. When the couple becomes infirm, the rabbit takes over for them. The story is straightforward to the verge of pointlessness, but the meticulous illustrations are a welcome relief from the brassy presentations that tend to accompany kids' holiday fare.
