You Can Count On Hopscotch — Cynthia MacGregor

Although Hopscotch wanted nothing more than to work for the Easter Bunny, E.B. thought Hopscotch was still too young. But when Wicky, the wicked ferret, was about to ruin every child's Easter, Hopscotch knew he had to do something to help E.B. -- and fast. But what?

Excerpt:Hopscotch watched, hidden in the darkness. As soon as E.B. had left, Wicky sneaked up to the house and opened his empty sack wide. Wicky, the wicked, sneaky ferret, dumped the contents of each basket, one at a time, into his sack. He left the baskets in front of the door.

Now his sack was no longer empty. But the Easter baskets were empty. Two kids were going to be very disappointed when they opened their front door and found only baskets. No eggs! No candy! Just empty baskets.
