This was actually gifted to my less than 1 year old at that time, however even now I think the 1 year old would rip the flaps, I did try reading to her. So instead I asked if my 3.4year old preschooler would like to read this book. I started reading it aloud to her, however she soon understood the game is to hunt for the eggs which are hidden behind the flaps although it may not just be eggs which are hidden behind them. It also helped her to count and recognise numbers.
Some of the flaps are counter intuitive though, which nearly result in being torn.
I love reading it to the tune of bear hunt although we don’t listen to that much at all, so I was pretty out of tune 😳

This lift-the-flap picture book is a riff on the beloved We’re Going on a Bear Hunt reworked with an Easter theme. Here a family of rabbits head out to find eggs on a lovely spring day. There are ten hidden eggs on the pages and not every flap has an egg hidden behind it. Along the way, the rabbits encounter a series of obstacles and how to navigate things like lambs, bees and ducks. The final very large egg hides a wolf and the rabbits and the reader have to work together to foil him.
Hughes has done a nice job of incorporating the rhythm and structure of the original book into this springy Easter version. Even the obstacles themselves have a springtime theme. The wolf at the end makes for a delightful twist that creates the joy of rushing back through the obstacles in reverse order and returning home just in the nick of time.
The use of flaps is particularly enjoyable when combined with an egg hunt. Children will enjoy lifting the flaps which are fairly sturdy and should survive small hands well. There are surprises underneath some of them and the chance to count upwards to ten as well.
Great for sharing with a small group of children or one-on-one, there will be lots of demand to be the one to lift the flaps because it is such fun. My guess is you will be reading this one again and again. Appropriate for ages 3-5.
