What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
This is a strictly secular treatment of Easter. There are no religious overtones, focusing entirely on the cultural traditions of egg hunting and the natural beauty of springtime. There is no conflict or peril.
Ideal Reader
A two or three-year-old who is preparing for their very first community or backyard egg hunt and might feel a bit overwhelmed by the 'rules' or the activity. It is also excellent for a child who loves 'search and find' elements but needs a simpler version than a complex puzzle book.
