Pick a Perfect Egg

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Pick a perfect egg with care – choose a white one nestled there. Lay in cartons, row by row. Pay the farmer. Off you go!

There’s excitement in the air as a little girl and her mother carefully collect speckled eggs at the farm. These are no ordinary eggs – they will be dyed, decorated, bejewelled and nestled in a basket. And then, when Sunday morning arrives, the little girl will wear her best bunny ears and head out to meet friends and neighbours.

It's time to search for eggs of a different kind, filled with chocolate, toys and sweeties... It's time for a spectacular, springtime egg hunt!

This happy and gloriously illustrated Easter read-aloud captures all the excitement of the season and is from the creators of the perennially popular Pick a Pine Tree and Pick a Pumpkin.
