The Easter Bunny hides ten hot-pink marshmallow chicks all over Max and Ruby’s house. “Finder’s keepers,” Ruby cries as they begin their search. Goal-driven Ruby is pure focus and drive and quickly spots the hidden-in-plain sight peepers. Max is more thorough but less successful, searching out intricate hiding spots Ruby might never think of, emptying a tube of toothpaste, a can of coffee, and a carton of orange juice among other things, but he’s left with just a marshmallow-chickless mess in the end. Lucky for Max that Grandma has the Easter Bunny’s phone number, and all is well in the end of Rosemary Wells’ winning counting book. (Ages 2–5)

Max and Ruby, everyone’s favorite bunnies, are back in a unique largeformat counting book sure to tickle the funny bone of very young readers. When the Easter Bunny decides to hide the contents of their Easter baskets, Max and Ruby set out on a hunt for the missing marshmallow chicks which are here, there, and everywhere. It seems that Ruby is finding all the chicks, but count on Max to have the last laugh! Max and Ruby currently appear in their own television series on Nickelodeon.
