review 1: This is a great book to help a child if he/she is only child in the family and bring a heartfelt friendship. John Bemelman Marciano made a bright and elegant pictures in the book. In Washington, D.C., Candle needed a friend to talk to and could be able to use her imagination. She was bored in the White House school, she had a secret services Agent Downs to protector not to leave the White House. Her mother send her letter to Candle, but she can't wait for mother's friend to come for Easter. The president's lonely only daugther had an annual Easter Egg hunt and roll with spoons, Madeline and other little girls had a good time especially with magician rabbit. Learning Experience: The teacher will place a table with 2 pail of water with two teams. The children will be team (A... more) and team (B): the children need to carry the easter egg on a spoon with one arm behind his/her back. The child needs to balance the easter egg on a spoon until he/she will arrived with the easter egg to be place inside the water pail.
review 2: I think this book is special for two reasons. First, I loved the fact that this story was begun by Ludwig Bemelmans and Jacqueline Kennedy and finished by a grandson of Bemelman, John Bemelmans Marciano. The later faithfully studied the life and work of his grandfather and then chose to bring the book out of the files and onto our bookshelves. Second, I loved how Marciano filled the book with playful yet reminiscent illustrations of the White House and of the sites of Washington D. C. (one of my favorite cities). I will forgive the forced rhymes for the love and devotion that this book represents (both to family and country). When I read this, I was reminded of a book I read earlier, "The Frogs and Toads All Sang," found in the unpublished works of Anrold Lobel and brought to publication after Lobel's death through the illustrations of his daughter, Adrianne Lobel. If I remember right, this was a work that Arnold created for his friends at Christmas time. Again, the story behind the story inspires me. less
