Introducing the great easter egg hunt, an innovative storybook set that's fashioned like a basket and opens to reveal 12 small egg-shaped board books to hide around the house or yard. A twist on the Story Book Set & Advent Calendar series, this book uses a similar premise of little numbered, four-page board books, but with a different purpose. Colorfully decorated like Easter eggs and nestled in a backer, the books are meant to be hidden on Easter morning and then, when they're all found, to be read in sequence. The original story by Mary Packard, who co-wrote The Nutcracker and other titles in the Story Book Set & Advent Calendar series, is a whimsical tale not of one Easter bunny, but of four-Betsy, Bradley, Bonnie, and Ben-who probably should have asked Mrs. Hen before borrowing her eggs to decorate and hide. For a favorite holiday tradition-the Easter egg hunt-it's a new way to celebrate. Illustrated by Carolyn Croll. Suitable for children ages 2 and up.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
This delightful package has everything you need to stage an exciting indoor Easter Egg Hunt--no hard-boiling required! When you open this flat, three-paneled book, you'll discover 12 colorfully decorated, egg-shaped board books, numbered 1 to 12. Hide the Easter egg books around the house for your kids to find, enact the hunt, and when the kids have found all of them, you can all sit down and read them in order. Together, the 12 egg books weave one whimsical, endearing Easter story about four little bunnies who discover the Easter holiday's message of renewal when they borrow Mrs. Hen's eggs for decorating and hiding, only to discover that the eggs are her future chicks. You'll also find a brief history of Easter, and a description of the symbols of Easter--the Easter Egg, the Easter Bunny, white lilies, and hot cross buns. This is the perfect indoor Eastertime activity for any family, and, unlike actual eggs, these little books can be used year after year. (Ages 4 to 8)
