      Gossie, Gertie, BooBoo, and Peedie—the tiny but assertive ducks from the Gossie & Friends series—gather, dye, and hide eggs for Easter. But Ollie, wearing a pink bunny-eared bonnet, moves the eggs to a hiding spot, leading to some searching and hunting on the part of the others. The simple declarative phrases and gently humorous illustrations are just right for the age group, but the ending is jarringly abrupt. Stickers are included. Ages 3–7.

      PreS-Gr 1-Gossie and her friends are back, dyeing Easter eggs. Donning bunny ears, little Ollie shouts that he wants some too. After each of the other geese hides a brightly colored egg somewhere on the farm, Ollie stealthily removes it. Soon the others begin searching for their stashes, while Ollie is preparing a surprise. As in the other "Gossie and Friends" books, the illustrations are bright watercolors against a white background. Fans and newcomers alike will be delighted with this latest installment."Laura Butler, Mount Laurel Library, NJ"

      Dunrea's lovable goslings celebrate Easter by dyeing and hiding eggs. That is, except for little Ollie, who steals all the eggs, whispering "my egg" each time he unearths one. In the end, it turns out his intentions are good. The illustrations as charming as ever, and Gossie fans will enjoy seeing all the birds together in one book.
