    "The simple declarative phrases and gently humorous illustrations are just right for the age group."—Publishers Weekly

    "Gossie and her friends are back, dyeing Easter eggs . . . As in the other "Gossie and Friends" books, the illustrations are bright watercolors against a white background. Fans and newcomers alike will be delighted with this latest installment."—School Library Journal

    "As with all of his books, the overall effect is just this side of too-cute-for-words, landing it in exactly the right range of adorable. Although toddlers and young preschoolers may be mystified at the madness behind Ollie’s method, as he steals his compatriots’ hidden eggs and then hides them again, there’ll be more than pleased by his triumphant ending."—Kirkus
