Peppa and George decorate Easter eggs and hide them in the garden, ready for an Easter-egg hunt with their friends. But as Danny Dog, Suzy Sheep, Candy Cat and the others hop, skip and run around the garden looking for the eggs, Peppa and George are nowhere to be seen! Where could they be? Peppa and George have saved their best surprise for last, popping out of giant Easter eggs dressed as Peppa the Easter Bunny and George the chick.

Perfect for preschoolers who love the Peppa Pig television show, Peppa the Easter Bunny is a 16-page board book bursting with bright colours and cute characters. Little listeners will have fun trying to guess where Peppa and George are hiding, and will giggle with delight when the final surprise is revealed.

Although there are some longer words in the text, early readers will also enjoy this book. Repetition of terms such as ‘bunny’, ‘egg’, ‘Peppa’ and ‘George’ assists with word recognition, while bite-size chunks of large text help young eyes focus on the story.

Peppa the Easter Bunny is an egg-cellent Easter gift for youngsters. The sweet and simple story is sure to be read again and again throughout the year.
