Summary

Near mountain, scrub and oceanfront, we tiptoe on our Easter hunt.
We look over. We look under.
And then...

A group of lambs are on an Easter egg hunt. They find all kinds of eggs - kiwi, tui, keruru, little blue penguin (korora) and kakapo - before the little lambs finally find what they've been looking for: Easter eggs to share with all their whanau.

This colourfully illustrated picture book takes the celebration of Easter and uses it to highlight the beauty of New Zealand's flora and fauna.
