The Easter Egg Is Missing! written by Cynthia Platt , Illustrated by Kathryn Selbert and reviewed by Debra Gantz

Summary: This super cute board book with cut out pages is an adventure in egg hunting with kids and critters. It is bright, it is sturdy, it is engaging. I did not find the bunny's bow tie twice through the book, but I found it on the third try! I was engaged and enjoying these adorable illustrations and the egg hunt as an adult. I bet that means kids will also be engaged with the book. This book certainly made me smile!

Straight Talk for Librarians: I don't carry board books in my library for circulation, but I do buy board books for my newest group of young readers who are 2.5-5 years old. (I read to them and then the books go to their classroom.) It is rare for me to find books that I feel are sturdy enough for my SXI students. This is a board book I am glad to have found and I am sure it will be well loved!
