We’re Going on an Egg Hunt

Toddler-K–This fun and rhythmic book is an Easter spin on a popular childhood chant. As three children search for eggs, they are met with charming spring creatures, as opposed to the daunting and dangerous conditions of the original bear hunt. These cute chickens, bunnies, and frogs offer little challenge, instead providing rather fun entertainment along the way. After they go through a garden, the children find eggs; they collect and count 10, put them in their baskets, and then head back the way they came to finish with an Easter parade. Some of the textual elements will be familiar, such as the “Can’t go over them. Can’t go under them. Can’t go around them,” and the refrain always finishes with a joyful “Spring is in the air.” The three characters feature identical dot eyes and smiles, with a range of skin colors and gender representation. In the final celebration, all three sport flower-adorned Easter bonnets.
