A story about Easter

for your Baby

King Doodle Bum, a curious and mischievous king wearing a lopsided golden crown and a purple velvet robe, stands in a sunny garden with his arms stretched wide, smiling big. In the background, a grand silly little castle with wobbly towers sits among blooming pink cherry blossom trees and rolling green hills dotted with tiny wildflowers.

Good morning, sunshine! It is spring! The flowers are blooming — pink, yellow, and purple. The bees go buzz, buzz, buzz. And look! Little eggs are hiding in the garden. Can you find them?

King Doodle Bum, a curious and mischievous king wearing a lopsided golden crown and a purple velvet robe, jumps with excitement, pointing toward a garden path lined with green bushes. In the background, pastel-colored Easter eggs peek out from behind leafy green bushes and beside a babbling brook.

King Doodle Bum loves chocolate. He loves it SO much! Today is Easter, and Easter means one thing… an egg hunt! "Let's go find eggs!" says the King. "Hooray!"

Cluckster, a rambunctious fluffy white chicken with a bright red comb and a little blue bow tied around her neck, flaps her wings wide and opens her beak in a big joyful song. In the background, rolling green hills dotted with tiny pink, yellow, and purple wildflowers stretch under a warm sunny sky.

But wait — who is that? "Bawk bawk bawk! La la laaa!" It is Cluckster! She is a big white chicken, and she LOVES to sing. "I will help you find eggs!" she sings. "Let's go, let's go, let's GO!"

A shiny, smooth, round blue pastel Easter egg sitting behind a leafy green bush with tiny pink wildflowers growing around its base. In the background, the sunny garden path winds past more green bushes and blooming pink cherry blossom trees.

They look behind a bush. What do they see? A blue egg! It is round and smooth and shiny blue. "Ooooh!" says King Doodle Bum. "One egg! One blue egg!" Cluckster sings, "Blue egg, blue egg, hip hooray!"

A shiny, smooth, round pink pastel Easter egg nestled under a big bright green leaf, with tiny dewdrops sparkling on the leaf. In the background, a babbling brook trickles over small smooth stones beside the garden.

They look under a big green leaf. What do they see? A pink egg! It is round and smooth and shiny pink. "Two eggs!" says the King. Cluckster flaps her wings and sings, "Pink egg, pink egg, hip hooray!"

Cluckster, a rambunctious fluffy white chicken with a bright red comb and a little blue bow tied around her neck, stands beside a babbling brook looking down at a shiny, smooth, round yellow pastel Easter egg sitting on the mossy bank. In the background, happy buzzing bees float among blooming pink cherry blossom trees.

They look beside the babbling brook. Splish, splash! What do they see? A yellow egg! It is round and smooth and shiny yellow. "Three eggs!" says King Doodle Bum. Cluckster sings, "Yellow egg, yellow egg, hip hooray!"

A big golden Easter egg wrapped in shiny crinkly gold foil paper, glowing warmly, tucked deep under a big thorny bush with tiny purple wildflowers around it. In the background, soft sunshine streams through the leaves of blooming pink cherry blossom trees.

Then King Doodle Bum peeks deep, deep under a big thorny bush. And there it is. A BIG golden egg! It is wrapped in shiny gold paper. It is a chocolate egg! The biggest one of all! "CHOCOLATE!" shouts the King.

King Doodle Bum, a curious and mischievous king wearing a lopsided golden crown and a purple velvet robe, clutches the big golden egg wrapped in shiny crinkly gold foil paper tightly to his chest with a greedy grin. In the background, Cluckster the fluffy white chicken with a bright red comb and a little blue bow stands small and droopy nearby.

King Doodle Bum hugs the big golden egg tight. "Mine, mine, mine!" he says. "ALL mine!" He does not want to share. Not one little bit. Cluckster looks at the King. Her feathers droop. She sings a sad, quiet song. "No egg for me… no egg for me…"

King Doodle Bum, a curious and mischievous king wearing a lopsided golden crown and a purple velvet robe, kneels down and gently holds out the big golden egg wrapped in shiny crinkly gold foil paper toward his friend. In the background, a grand silly little castle with wobbly towers peeks above the rolling green hills under warm golden sunshine.

King Doodle Bum stops. He hears the sad song. He looks at Cluckster. He looks at the big golden egg. His tummy says, "Eat it all!" But his heart says, "Share it." When you have something yummy, it is always nicer to share. Even just a little bit! "Cluckster," he says softly. "Let's share."

Cluckster, a rambunctious fluffy white chicken with a bright red comb and a little blue bow tied around her neck, happily pecks at a piece of rich brown chocolate from the cracked-open big golden egg with shiny crinkly gold foil paper peeled back. In the background, the sunny garden glows with pink, yellow, and purple wildflowers on rolling green hills.

CRACK! They break the big golden egg together. Inside is the most yummy chocolate! King Doodle Bum takes a piece. Cluckster takes a piece. "Mmmmm!" says the King. Cluckster sings, "Yum yum yum, chocolate in my tum!" Sharing makes it taste even sweeter.

Three tiny fluffy yellow baby chicks with bright black eyes pecking out of small cracked white eggshells, wobbling on a soft patch of green grass. In the background, blooming pink cherry blossom trees shower soft petals onto rolling green hills.

Then they hear a tiny sound. Tap, tap, tap! Crack, crack, crack! Little baby chicks! Fluffy and yellow, pecking out of their shells. "New babies!" whispers the King. "Hello, little ones!" sings Cluckster. Spring brings new friends. New life. New beginnings.

King Doodle Bum, a curious and mischievous king wearing a lopsided golden crown and a purple velvet robe, sits peacefully on the green grass beside Cluckster, a rambunctious fluffy white chicken with a bright red comb and a little blue bow tied around her neck, both looking out at the warm horizon. In the background, the grand silly little castle with wobbly towers glows in golden evening light among blooming pink cherry blossom trees, with happy buzzing bees and tiny wildflowers everywhere.

King Doodle Bum and Cluckster sit side by side in the warm sunshine. The baby chicks peep and tumble in the grass. There will be more sunny days. More flowers. More songs to sing. And next year? More eggs to find and more chocolate to share. Spring is just getting started.
