Books for an 'eggcellent' Easter

A charming invitation to decorate real eggs, before joining in with an egg hunt. Inspiring for art lovers, yet accessible for young readers too. Delightful.

Six eggs are having a lovely time when a seventh egg appears – but this egg is totally the wrong way around! Containing only one word – ​‘egg’ – this picture book is delightfully expressive and funny, as well as being a clever story about acceptance.

A fantastic lift-the-flap counting book staring five different, gorgeously illustrated animals hiding in their eggs. Can you find them and count them?

Egg has attitude! A burning ambition to fly and a refusal to accept that it can’t. But it is very young and knows next to nothing.
