Summary: A true picturebook classic
Review: Charmingly written by Margaret Wise Brown and superbly illustrated by Leonard Weisgard, The Gold Egg Book is a true picturebook classic telling the story of the rambling imagination of one little bunny as he tries to figure out just what is inside a beautiful blue egg. A whole new generation of children ages 2 to 5 will delight in this lively story as the bunny tries to shake, push, and even jump on the egg in his attempts to break it. But the egg won't hatch until it is ready! The Golden Egg Book will prove to be an enthusiastically popular addition to family, preschool, and community library collections.

Summary: Still Enchanting after all these years
Review: I loved this book as a child, and still find it magical after more decades than I'd like to admit. It's a gentle story about wonder, imagination, surprise, and friendship, and Weisgard's illustrations are enchanting. It just doesn't get much better than this. I'm in the book biz, and in my profession I look at lots and lots of picture books.
"The Golden Egg Book" has a universal appeal that still holds its own after all these years, and will continue to engage children for a long time.
