Celebrating Spring with HarperCollins Children’s Books - activity pack

HarperCollins Children’s Books are celebrating the arrival of Spring with a gorgeous pack of activities for little ones featuring eggs, bunnies and tadpoles from an array of amazing picture book creators!

- Follow Tad, the littlest almost-a-frog in the whole wide pond, in the new picture book from Benji Davies, creator of The Storm Whale and Grandad’s Island.
- Meet the formidable Imelda and her favourite soft toy, Bunny Wunny, in Emma Chichester Clark’s wickedly funny modern cautionary tale.
- Discover the world of the Dinosaur Juniors in Happy Hatchday from the award-winning Rob Biddulph – the first in a series of brilliantly bright, bold picture books dealing with the moments that every pre-schooler faces.
- And go on a quest to find berries with Mini Rabbit, hero of John Bond’s utterly charming debut picture book, shortlisted for the Waterstone’s Children’s Book Prize.

To celebrate these beautiful books, HarperCollins Children’s Books are delighted to share a pack of activity sheets including everything you need to host your very own Spring Storytime event to keep little ones busy throughout April and May!

If you host a Spring event with these activities please share photos online (these do not need to include children’s faces) using #HCCBSpringStorytime and tagging @ReadingAgency and @HarperCollinsCh.
