Spring is in the air in the Hundred Acre Wood, and what better way to celebrate than an Easter hunt with Piglet, Tigger, Kanga and Roo? Only, they have forgotten what they are meant to be hunting for. The Easter Bunny? Or Poohsticks? “Perhaps we’re hunting for no good reason at all” — classic Eeyore. Thankfully, Christopher Robin is on hand to nudge them in the right direction, towards the barn in the farmyard where the real treat awaits. Jane Riordan brings AA Milne’s beloved bear to a new generation in a picture book that captures the gentle spirit of the original stories. There’s also a painted Easter egg to find on every page.
