Yummy Bunny Easter Treats!

William Boniface, illus. by Kyle Poling. Little Simon, $9.99 (12p) ISBN 978-1-4424-5724-9

Thirty cardboard pieces—shaped like chocolates, jelly beans, eggs, and more—are included with this sugary board-book ode to all the goodies that can be found in an Easter basket: “It’s time to build your Easter basket./ You can watch us do it!/ When jelly beans are fully ripe,/ they’re picked and added to it.” The book follows the format of Boniface’s There’s a Dinosaur in My Soup!; Poling’s digital illustrations gleam with neon shades of purple and pink, as teams of rabbits sculpt chocolate animals, make marsh-mallows, and wrap the sweets in foil. Readers can fit the cardboard pieces into die-cut holes in each spread, creating an increasingly candy-filled Easter basket in the process. Ages 4–6. (Jan.)
