Pick a Perfect Egg by Patricia Toht
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, bejeweled 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.Featured in The Bookseller's Children's Previews for March 2023 * The Bookseller *
