How Will the Easter Bunny Know? - Softcover

Kindergarten-Grade 3-Although Mike loves to spend the night at his grandmother's house, he is worried that the Easter Bunny will not be able to find him there on the big day. After an unsuccessful phone call to an E. Bunney listed in the phone book, Mike and his friend Tony make signs and a map, then write and mail a letter explaining how to find Grandma's house. All is well until Mike discovers that the door to Grandma's apartment building has just been painted a new color. Filled with colorful illustrations, this six-chapter book has plenty of plot tension and action to keep newly independent readers interested. Those who still believe in magical mysteries will share Mike's concerns and be comforted by the story's happy ending while nonbelievers will still be curious about the boy's plans.
