About this title

About the Author:

Lillian Hoban was the author and illustrator of many favorite I Can Read books, including Joe and Betsy the Dinosaur, Silly Tilly's Thanksgiving, and a series about Arthur the Chimpanzee. She also illustrated many picture books, including the classic stories about Frances.

From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 3 Tilly Mole wakes up one morning, smells jelly beans in the wind, and remarks to herself, ```It must be Easter.''' Easter it is, but that's the only thing Tilly gets right during the morning. She keeps forgetting to remember what she's about: looking for her glasses, which are pushed up onto her forehead, she bumps into a chair and thinks it's the Easter Bunny; she goes to make tea, but forgets what she went to the stove for, and she puts a flower pot on her head as an Easter bonnet. So it goes, with the forgetful Tilly muddling one thing after another, till she finally manages to sit down to tea and jelly beans with the Easter Bunny. Kids will get a laugh out of Tilly's goofs, which are genuinely gently funny, and smack their lips over the basket the Bunny brings. It's a pleasure to see Hoban's pencil and wash soft line drawings in full color; their bright pinks, yellows, lavenders suit Tilly's silliness and the story's season.
