Mateo's Great Spring Egg Hunt

Ages 2–6

On the first warm morning of spring, Mateo follows a trail of painted eggs through the garden, each one holding a tiny clue about the season, until the last clue asks him to share the greatest find of all.

Spring is full of small clues about new life, and the best discoveries are even better when shared.

Spring woke up the garden with a warm and sunny yawn. Mateo tiptoed outside with the little woven basket, eyes wide. Somewhere among the flowers, painted eggs were waiting. The great egg hunt was about to begin!

Peek and seek, a painted egg — what will Mateo find today? Behind the wobbly wheelbarrow, a blue egg gleamed. Inside curled a tiny brown seed, small as a whisper.

"A seed!" said Mateo, tucking it in with care. Peek and seek, a painted egg — what will Mateo find today? Pip's ears twitched toward the lattice fence, tangled with new green vines.
