THE EGG TREE , story and pictures by Katherine Milhous, hb, xlib, 1950,
first inside blank page removed, "When Katy discovers her grandmother's
old hand-painted Easter eggs in the attic, she inspires the renewal of a
special tradition: the Easter egg tree! This quaint Caldecott
Medal-winning story, written half a century ago, will charm today's
readers every bit as much as it did their parents and grandparents.
Influenced by Pennsylvania Dutch folk art and tradition, Katherine
Milhous creates a lovely tale that will leave readers of all ages
impatient to break out paint, dye, and brushes to trim their own Easter
egg tree. Muted hues of blue, brown, green, orange, and yellow are a
welcome respite from the in-your-face vibrancy of contemporary
illustrations, and create their own gentle radiance. Age-old designs such
as the Bright and Morning Star, the Horn-blowing Rooster, the Cooing
Dove, and the Pomegranate decorate the borders and eggs, providing a
sense of deep-rooted history and tradition. A beautiful sleeper of a
classic." Ages 5 and older, pages have about 1 inch tear on some where
they join the binding, $10
