To Anita and Lin—
who shared many Easter
egg hunts with me
This is Gossie and Gertie. They are gathering eggs.
This is BooBoo and Peedie. They are gathering eggs, too.
This is Ollie.
He is hopping.
Gossie dyes her egg bright red.
Gertie dyes her egg bright blue.
BooBoo dyes her egg bright purple.
Peedie dyes his egg bright yellow.
Ollie stares at the brightly colored eggs.
"I want eggs!" he shouts.
Gossie hides her egg in the green grass.
"My egg," whispers Ollie. He rolls the red egg out of sight.
Gertie hides her egg in the yellow straw.
"My egg," whispers Ollie. He rolls the blue egg out of sight.
BooBoo hides her egg in the red tulips.
"My egg," whispers Ollie. He rolls the purple egg out of sight.
Peedie hides his egg under the green turtle.
"My egg," whispers Ollie. He rolls the yellow egg out of sight.
Ollie hides all the eggs under his blanket.
Gossie and Gertie hunt for the Easter eggs. They look in the tulips.
They look under the turtle.
BooBoo and Peedie hunt for the Easter eggs. They look in the grass.
They look in the straw.
Gossie and Gertie scoot past Ollie.
Searching. Hunting.
BooBoo and Peedie scurry past Ollie.
Hunting. Searching.
"Look!" Ollie says. Four small goslings stop and stare. "Easter eggs!" shouts Ollie.
