| PreSchool-Grade 1-Hilda the hen has laid an egg that is extremely slow to hatch. One day, she is surprised by a voice from within asking when Easter will be. It seems that the unhatched chick has heard others in the coop talking about "how lovely Easter is" and decides to emerge on that day. After conferring with Max the owl, Hilda follows his three-step instructions to assist her offspring in planning her birth date. The entertaining artwork reveals the mother hen's nonstop activities while also showing what the chick is doing inside her egg-pacing, twiddling her thumbs, etc. Through the course of the story, readers discover that "Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon that comes after the first day of spring." Though children may not be particularly interested in learning this bit of trivia, they will enjoy the scratchboard-and-oil illustrations. Young listeners will also appreciate the fact that the "baby" appears to be running this show. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| A wonderful tale. Should be read to every child before Easter Day (and by every inquisitive adult who just doesn't get the description of the dating process of Easter listed on page 880 in the (American) Book of Common Prayer).
This book teaches, through a fictional story, the very elaborate and often confusing system used to establish the date of Easter. This story is told using a traditional Easter symbol, chick. The story uses the established animal for wisdom, the owl, to teach the mother chick how to know when it is Easter Sunday. There is a utilization of the number 3 several times. In the background of one page is the three cross scene of the curcifixation, as well. There are other usage of Easter symbols such as church bells, bunnies, and eggs (other than the chick).
The mother chick, Hilda laid, "the most beautiful egg". Hilda learned in three steps from the owl how she would know when it is Easter. Hilda taught her chick using those three steps so that her chick could hatch on Easter Sunday. "The farmers' children, who were looking for Easter eggs in the barn. A little chick just hatched! On Easter Sunday! Isn't that amazing?"
The Easter Chick is highly recommended. |
