From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 3 Tilly Mole wakes up one morning, smells jelly beans in the wind, and remarks to herself, ```It must be Easter.''' Easter it is, but that's the only thing Tilly gets right during the morning. She keeps forgetting to remember what she's about: looking for her glasses, which are pushed up onto her forehead, she bumps into a chair and thinks it's the Easter Bunny; she goes to make tea, but forgets what she went to the stove for, and she puts a flower pot on her head as an Easter bonnet. So it goes, with the forgetful Tilly muddling one thing after another, till she finally manages to sit down to tea and jelly beans with the Easter Bunny. Kids will get a laugh out of Tilly's goofs, which are genuinely gently funny, and smack their lips over the basket the Bunny brings. It's a pleasure to see Hoban's pencil and wash soft line drawings in full color; their bright pinks, yellows, lavenders suit Tilly's silliness and the story's season.

By A Customer

This review is from: Silly Tilly and the Easter Bunny (An I Can Read Book, Level 1) (Paperback)

This is an I CAN READ book, Level 1, so a child in first grade can probably read it herself. It makes a great Easter gift. Our kids loved getting this book.

This review is from: Silly Tilly and the Easter Bunny: An Early I Can Read Book (Hardcover)

ISBN 0060223936 - Printed in the United States of America. Age range not stated. Pictorial hardcover, no dustjacket. 31 pages, published by Weekly Reader Books/Field Publications. Written and illustrated by Lillian Hoban.

Silly Tilly Mole wakes to the smell of jelly beans and remembers that it's Easter morning. She hears a THUMP at her door and, assuming it's the Easter bunny with her basket, plans to go open the door and offer him tea. The number of things that she "forgets to remember" along the way almost keep her from her Easter goodies, but it all works out in the end.

First, for the Christian-message folks - nope, none of that here. For those who enjoy a good, funny, kids' tale as a chance to introduce your child to reading, this is awesome. The text is simple and there's enough repetition so that beginning readers will be able to pick up on that. The illustrations are perfect watercolor complements that add to the hilarity as Tilly bumbles her way through her Easter morning.
