The UK Book Fairies lead The Great Big Egg Hunt to Celebrate Spring!

The sun was out, the book fairies were out, The Great Big Egg Hunt began as Spring sprung!

The Book Fairies in the UK were delighted to be involved with the launch of The Great Big Egg Hunt, a ‘lift the flap’ board book for young children! We even included some plastic-free treats – little cardboard boxes filled with delicious mini eggs.

Some lucky finders!

We were delighted to hear from some very happy book finders today, who are starting their Easter celebrations early as a result!

Here are their pics! We hope that they enjoy the book (and the chocolates!) and that they have fun hiding the book again when they are ready. Children LOVE being book fairies, often finding the best spots to leave the books!!
