Review
When Katy discovers
her grandmother's old hand-painted Easter eggs in the attic, she
inspires the renewal of a special tradition: the Easter egg tree!
This quaint Caldecott Medal-winning story, written half a century
ago, will charm today's readers every bit as much as it did their
parents and grandparents. Influenced by Pennsylvania Dutch folk art
and tradition, Katherine Milhous creates a lovely tale that will
leave readers of all ages impatient to break out paint, dye, and
brushes to trim their own Easter egg tree. Muted hues of blue,
brown, green, orange, and yellow are a welcome respite from the
in-your-face vibrancy of contemporary illustrations, and create
their own gentle radiance. Age-old designs such as the Bright and
Morning Star, the Horn-blowing Rooster, the Cooing Dove, and the
Pomegranate decorate the borders and eggs, providing a sense of
deep-rooted history and tradition. A beautiful sleeper of a
classic. (Ages 5 and older) --Emilie Coulter
One Easter morning, Katy and Carl went on an egg hunt through
Grandmom's house. Katy couldn't find anything until she went up to
the attic. And there she discovered a very special set of
eggs...
Grandmom had painted them when she was a little girl. And now,
she hung them from the branches of a tiny tree -- an Egg Tree! So
began a very special Easter tradition.
This Caldecott Medal-winning story of a Pennsylvania Dutch Easter
will surely inspire children to make Egg Trees of their very
own.
