Book Reviews of A Tale for Easter (Tasha Tudor Collection)
Book Review: Sweet Little Easter Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I was looking for a secular Easter book for my two year old's Easter basket this year. It was hard to tell from the description and other reviews if this one would fit the bill, however I have fond memories of my Tasha Tudor book, A Time to Keep, from my childhood, so I thought this one was worth a chance. It was a pleasant surprise.
Aside from the mention of Sunday School, and Good Friday, there are no other religious references. Of course in that same vein, there is also a reference to having hot cross buns with tea on Good Friday, a tradition that would likely be lost on most children anyway.
The majority of this brief little book - it's just over a dozen pages long - focuses on the awakening of spring as is conjured in a young child's dream, and on waking up Easter morning to a myriad of pleasant little surprises; a stuffed bunny in grandmother's rocker, Easter eggs, and new baby ducklings.
This is a sweet, simple, classic tale with lovely, gentle illustrations in a small format (the book measures about 6.75" x 6.75"), just right for tucking into a basket. I think it's lovely and I'm sure it will be a treasured Easter surprise for my young daughter.
Summary of A Tale for Easter (Tasha Tudor Collection)
Springtime is special, and Easter is the most magical day of all!You know Easter is near, but "you're not always sure when it is coming even though you go to Sunday school." In fact, "it is only when Good Friday comes, and you have hot cross buns for tea, that you know for certain Easter will be the day after tomorrow." A little girl prepares for Easter by asking the chickens to lay her plenty of Easter eggs and dreaming "the loveliest dreams" of a wee fawn that makes her light as thistledown and takes her on a journey past shiny-coated rabbits, lambs frolicking among buttercups, and stardusted daffodils.
Beloved artist Tasha Tudor, creator of the Caldecott Honor book 1 Is One and more than 90 other picture books, looks through the eyes of a child at a favorite springtime holiday. With her trademark delicate watercolors and honey-sweet text, Tudor revisits her childhood memories and dreams of Easter. This 1941 classic pays tribute to the celebration of renewal while transporting readers to a gentle, joyful era. (Ages 3 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
