We decorated eggs today. 84 of them! It's a big Anderson family tradition. I always pull out our copy of An Egg is Quiet for inspiration (Dianna Aston, illustrated in ink and watercolor by Sylvia Long; Chronicle, 2006). Its endpapers look like the blue speckled scarlet tanager egg pictured here; for a variety of eggs, see the first double page spread and the one for "An egg is colorful."

Other family favorite Easter books (mostly picture books, and one middle grade novel) listed here. Which are your favorites?
