As a veteran kindergarten teacher of 40 years I have read a great number of children's books. My favorite story during the Easter season is "The World in the Candy Egg". The story begins with someone buying a panoramic candy egg from a toy shop. The story continues with a story about the scene inside the egg. The language and illustrations are so beautiful I never get tired of reading it. After reading it I ask the children to draw an egg and draw as many things in it that they can remember from the scene inside the egg. Then I tell them I have a big surprise for them and show them a box with a panoramic candy egg. They all look at the scene in it and then I break it up and give them all a taste. I have read the book to all my grandchildren and then given them a candy egg. My book is so worn from all the use it's had and I would love to have another. I'm sorry it's out of print. I think it would be great to have someone reprint it in paperback and market it with a panoramic egg.

I used this book for a project in school, the kids loved it! Then we used it to learn about a lot of different things like Easter eggs, and bugs and fram animals and the difference between our day and night. It is an old book but a good one!
