Babushka is an old lady who lives by herself in Russia. She paints eggs and at Easter time, she wins the contest because her eggs are the best. One snowy night she is out walking and a goose falls from the sky hurt. She takes it in and helps it heal. One day the goose breaks all her eggs and she will not go to the festival, but then a miracle happens and the goose begins to lay colored eggs. Babushka drains the eggs and takes them to the festival where she wins again with the eggs.
It's an interesting story. This is a Reading Rainbow book and those are usually excellent books and this is no exception. The artwork is intricate with the eggs and colors. The famous Moscow building (I forget the name) is also pictured in this story. The eggs are pretty, but the rest of the artwork isn't all that great.
I didn't know this was an Easter story, but it's a good book to read for Easter. It's about miracles.

Thank you for your review! When I was little, I checked this book out all the time from the school's library. I always thought the story was so cute, and the illustrations were my favorite part of the book. I've been meaning to read this book as an adult, but could not remember the name until now.

It's one reason I have used Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ to record every book I can remember reading so I don't forget. There are several books I read as a child that I loved, even owned and can't remember the title of. It drives me crazy and I would love to find them. I'm glad you had an answer.
