Here at Edspire HQ
We love Easter
We love making bonnets
Decorating eggs
Playing games
Seeing friends and family
It is such a special time
As spring is in the air
And new life is all around us

To celebrate Easter this year
We have been reading
A brilliant and beautiful book
From Patricia Toht and Jarvis
Pick A Perfect Egg

The latest in a series of
Seasonal holiday books
From this author illustrator team
This book just like their others
Pick a Pine Tree and
Pick a Pumpkin
Has stunning artwork
Filled with the beauty of
Our wild world
And the traditions of
This springtime celebration

All three books
Show the joy
In coming together
And sharing our festivals
And our traditions

Pick a Perfect Egg
Follows a mother and daughter
As they pick eggs
From a local farm
To take home and decorate
We see them prepare and
Dye their eggs
Decorate them
Adorn them
With glitter and sparkle
Stickers and jewels

We love the illustrations
Heralding the arrival of spring
With gorgeous green countryside
Trees in blossom
Baby animals
And gorgeous use of
Seasonal colours

Every page demands poring over
And every word is
A delight to read aloud
This is an Easter story
We will treasure
And return to year after year

Once the eggs are ready
And other eggs
Have been filled and hidden
It is Easter morning
Time to dress in
Our Sunday best
Our spring attire
And head out for the hunt
“Eggy hide-and-seeking”
Is my favourite line I think

This book is a celebration of the season
An ode to the excitement of Easter
It is the perfect family readaloud
And Walker Books have created
A brilliant activity pack
To accompany the book
We have loved designing
Our own perfect eggs today

This year we are heading to Granny’s
For an Easter egg hunt
And to spend special time together
This brilliant and beautiful book
Reminds us all
That our celebrations
Are better shared
With friends and family
With our local community

Who will you be celebrating with this weekend?
Whoever you are with and
Wherever you may be
Enjoy your springtime celebration
