And, apparently, neither has the jackdaw named Jack. It seems that Jack finds the colorful eggs so irresistible that he’s gathered them all in his nest. What is he up to? The children will never be able to find the eggs so high in the tree’s branches. Now, it’s up to Harry to find a way to save the Easter Egg Hunt. Award-winning author/illustrator Pirkko Vainio’s beautifully illustrated springtime tale features the kind of pretty pastel watercolor artwork and charming woodland creatures children are sure to love. Who Hid the Easter Eggs? is just plain fun!
