On Easter morning the annual egg hunt comes up one short. The Easter Bunny has done a great job of hiding the eggs this year - maybe too good. Even Mom and Dad join in the search, but that bunny is a really good hider. Where is that last Easter egg? Told in Seuss-style rhyme, fiction veteran Virginia Smith's charming Easter story, beautifully illustrated by Patrick Carlson, is sure to delight children and adults alike. If you enjoyed The Last Christmas Cookie, you don't want to miss The Last Easter Egg. Virginia Smith is the bestselling author of more than forty novels and dozens of other works. Her books have been finalists in many prestigious awards, and two of her novels received the Holt Medallion Award of Merit. The Last Easter Egg is her second illustrated children's book.
