One of those books where you get the feeling that someone came up with the title first and then just slapped down some words to fill the pages under the cover. So, thanks to a near-sighted, typo-prone duck at an employment agency, a frog ends up delivering Easter baskets. That's it.

But really, who ever says Easter Rabbit instead of Easter Bunny? Not even ducks, I say.

Too dumb for me, but kids might find it cute. ( )

I liked the book, “The Easter Ribbit” because it was a cute and funny story to engage children in the exciting holiday of Easter. The main character, “Froggie” wanted to be involved in preparing for the holiday. With the story taking his perspective, readers can understand his personal desire to help with Easter. The illustrations in this story were colorful and meticulous, and depicted each event in the story very well. I especially liked the page with Froggie and his friends delivering all the Easter baskets with colorful eggs and bows. This illustration was important to the story since Froggie finally had the ability to fulfill his yearning, while also including the rest of his friends and family. Thus, also introducing the theme of teamwork, too. In addition to this, the song at the end of the story was an amusing rhythm and rhyme to give children a good laugh. To be specific, “I’m a Froggie in a hurry, And I’ve really got to scurry…” All in all, I think the big idea of this story was to familiarize the holiday of Easter, while also incorporating the idea of teamwork.

I enjoyed this book for three reasons. One reason is because the illustrations truly helped to enhance the story. They are full of color and small detail. The animals and scenery are great representations of Easter, and the colors are not too bright but also not too subtle. The second reason is because of the language the author uses. This book is intended for kindergartners to read, but includes a significant amount of dialogue and words to challenge young readers. One word in specific I though a kindergartner would not know prior to reading this story is “advertise”. The author introduced the word in a way that children would understand its meaning and also used the illustrations to greatly support and represent the words meaning. I also loved all the characters provided in this story. Children would find the wide variety of animals in this story to be appealing. The big idea of this story is to inform readers of the traditions that come along with the holiday, Easter, and to get those who celebrate Easter excited about the holiday. ( )

Froggie's greatest wish is to be an Easter Rabbit, but he is a frog. Will his dream come true?

This is the story of a frog desperate to help out with Easter, who discovers a want ad for an "Easter Ribbit" (really a typo). He hurries to help out and even brings more frogs along to help with all the deliveries he's assigned by an Easter rabbit to harried to notice her unusual help. ( )
