My Book Tie-Ins of the Week:
Hopper of Hopper’s Easter Surprise by Kathrin Siegenthaler and Marcus Pfister is a delightful book about an arctic hare that long to be different.
Hopper’s mom points out that he has a blue-tipped ear, but it isn’t enough for him. His mom points out that his fur will change in the summer and that isn’t enough. Then Hopper’s mom points out that he will look like the Easter bunny. That comment gets his attention.
Hopper wants all the facts he can get on the Easter bunny from his mom and seeks to find out some facts for himself.
On the way, he finds a fox that chases him, meets a friend, and tries to carry an egg the way he thinks the Bunny would.
When he brings his friend home they discover the Easter Bunny has been at Hopper’s house and delivered him an egg. Hopper and his friend fall asleep dreaming of how they will decorate the egg.

What did we do?

Spool Painted Paper Bag Season Trees

Hopper was interested in how his fur would change when the season changed. I thought it would be a great opportunity to talk about the seasons and paint colors to match each of them using a spool.

  7. Oh my the cover page of the book is so adorable!

  12. So cute with the tree and the rabbit. And they look like easy crafts which is always a plus.

  13. I’ve never read this book. Thank you for the suggestion. We will be stopping by the library to check it out. I love the handprint rabbit. It looks like it was fun to make, and it is also a wonderful keepsake. Thanks for sharing this idea at the Kid’s Co-op!
