Reactions/Observations:
The Easter Bunny has a new assistant! Unfortunately it's a skunk. The skunk stinks up the room every time he's happy about something. And making Easter eggs make him exuberant. Easter Bunny's nose is in trouble. Will Easter Bunny and skunk figure out a way to work together? In this super simple story, Jan Thomas weaves another interactive tale for her readers. In simple steps, the Easter Bunny explains to readers how to make Easter Eggs. The illustrations are heavily outlined and rely on fart humor. The latter guarantees it as a success for all ages.  Toddlers and preschoolers will especially giggle for hours about Easter Bunny's talented but stinky assistant.
