Description of the Book: It's springtime! Five little mice eavesdrop while a boy and girl listen to their mother read a story about the Easter bunny. As the children prepare for Easter, excitement builds in the little mice as they copy what the children do, hoping the Easter bunny will bring them candies too. Their first Easter is indeed a joyous adventure! The Mice Who Loved Easter is a companion to The Mice Who Loved Christmas and The Mice Who Loved Halloween. This book also features full-page illustrations for children to color. Children will enjoy scenes of the mice making their own Easter baskets and leaving them in the living room, then going to bed hoping the Easter bunny will find them. On Easter morning, one of the mice who got up early is initially disappointed when he doesn't see the mice's baskets where they had left them the night before. But then he discovers what the Easter bunny did especially for the five little mice who love Easter.
