Join the Veggies as they hunt for eggs and discover the true meaning of Easter in this fun and exciting board book.
The Great Easter Egg Hunt is finally here! The Veggies can't wait to see what's inside their eggs. Petunia wants an egg with something sparkly and pretty, Laura and Junior are hoping for candy, and Larry is searching for silliness, as usual. But when Junior finds his egg empty, he soon discovers that it is the best egg of all, because it represents the empty tomb and Jesus' Resurrection on Easter. Perfect for little ones embarking on Easter egg hunts of their own, this sturdy board book teaches children the true reason for Easter in a fun and engaging way.

This is an adorable and fun story that has jokes from VeggieTales for those of us that grew up with it & a great beginners lesson about the real reason we celebrate Easter for little ones (Jesus is Risen!). I bought this to give away in an Easter basket & I'm very happy with it! Can't wait for someone's precious little one to enjoy it!
