Spot's First Easter

Spot and his friends, Helen and Hippo, enjoy the annual Easter-egg hunt, encouraging young readers to participate in the search by lifting flaps that reveal a variety of surprises. Reprint. PW.

It's Easter, and the mischievous yet very accommodating Easter Bunny has hidden six eggs for Spot the dog and his friend Helen the hippo. Lurking playfully behind shed doors, shrubs, and fences, the bunny gives the youngsters hints as they track down the colorfully wrapped chocolate treats. For over 15 years, young readers have joined Spot and Helen on their spirited search, lifting flaps and learning to count along the way. ("Spot and Helen have found three eggs... Are there more?") Now, with this small board-book edition of the lift-the-flap favorite, yet another generation can fall in love with the roly-poly tan and brown-spotted pup and his big blue friend. Parents will find this a perfect addition to their little one's basket on Easter morning. Other delightful Spot titles by Eric Hill include Where's Spot?, Spot Goes to School, and Spot Helps Out).
