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.Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.

About the Author
Lillian Hoban's books for children have been working magic for nearly thirty years. Her illustrations can help change an unfamiliar setting-like a museum filled with dinosaurs and whales-into a wondrous adventure, and her words and pictures together can transform chimpanzees and badgers into very real companions for the youngest reader.Ms. Hoban was born and raised in Philadelphia. Among the first books she illustrated were the ever-popular "Frances" books, and several years later she wrote and illustrated Arthur's Christmas Cookies, thereby ushering in her beloved 'Arthur" series.In 1967 Ms. Hoban was asked to illustrate Will I Have a Friend? by Miriam Cohen. It was the beginning of an enormously popular collaboration that produced more that a dozen books about Jim, Paul, Danny, Anna Maria, and the rest of the first-grade classcharacters as familiar to children as their own classmates.Perhaps the key to the unfailing popularity of Ms. Hoban's stories and illustrations is that she's long been a keen observer of children, having had firsthand experience raising four of her own.Lillian Hoban lives in Connecticut.
