My Kid Review

Fiona and the Easter Egg Hunt is a cute story about animals mimicking the human tradition of hunting for brightly colored eggs at Easter. I was disappointed that the book did not contain any references to the real meaning of Easter. Those reading the book will think Easter is just about hunting for eggs.

It is also a story of friends helping a friend find something that was lost. One of the swan’s eggs gets mixed up with the colored eggs and all the animals jump in to help find the missing egg. 

I do love Richard Cowdrey’s illustrations and I think children will as well. I love the bunny ears on Fiona to make her look like the Easter Bunny. 

I think that due to the non-Christian focus of the book, K-12 Christian school librarians need to make their own decision on whether or not the book is appropriate for their library. 

I received a complimentary copy of Fiona and the Easter Egg Hunt. This is my honest review.
