Five Picture Books for Spring


This Easter weekend is a little different to normal! Here are five picture books you can sit in the garden and enjoy at home.

We're Going on an Egg Hunt is a lift-the-flap Easter story that's lots of fun. Look out for the big bad wolf on every page, and count yummy chocolate eggs as you go.  

Tree is a peep through picture book about nature throughout the year. The Spring pages, filled with blossom and animals, are particularly sweet. 

In Don't Wake the Bear, Hare, a Spring party is put in peril by the appearance of a sleeping bear. The animals are terrified that he will eat them if they accidentally wake him, but this story teaches children not to judge others based on appearances. 

The Teddy Bear's Picnic was one of my favourite stories as a young child and I love returning to the wonderful story with my own children now. 

The National Trust's ABC board book will give you plenty of things to look out for on a family walk. Make your route more exciting by having a go and finding natural objects that start with each letter of the alphabet, using this lovely story for inspiration.

Let me know about your favourite Spring or Easter stories in the comments. Are there any we should buy?
