When the flowers start to bloom and the birds begin to chirp, it’s the perfect time to introduce children to the magic of spring through picture books. Dive into a world of colorful illustrations and enchanting stories with this one of these spring picture books for kids. Let’s explore some delightful options that are sure to captivate young readers and spark their imagination.
Hank Finds an Egg
Are you looking for a heartwarming and engaging picture book to read with your child this spring? Look no further than “Hank Finds an Egg”! This delightful story is filled with charming illustrations and a touching tale that will captivate both children and adults alike. Let’s dive into why this book is a must-have for your spring reading list.
Every component of the books beautiful scenery is handmade by Dudley, then photographed to perfection. Dudley’s stunning visual narrative allows your child to interact with Hank, creating their own story as the character progresses.
While walking through the forest, Hank finds an egg on the forest floor. After spotting its nest high up in a tree, he uses his ingenuity to help get the egg home safe and sound, and is joyfully rewarded with new-found friends!
Dudley’s novel is great for all ages, but specifically aids younger children who want their independence but are still without literacy. A silent book allows the child to take control of the story, instilling in them a desire to create, to tell, and to “read” through pictures.
The book is a great way to engage children as young as four with concepts of literacy- it is also a wonderful way to inspire your 
child to build their own fictive worlds with their own plush pals.
I am absolutely in love with Rebecca Dudley’s artistic style. She has captivated me with her whimsical world and I can’t wait to dive into Hank’s second adventure: “Hank Has a Dream.” This is an artist to watch.
Author Rebecca Dudley is a builder, creator, photographer, and artist. She makes everything that appears in her illustrations: the trees, leaves, ponds, skies, and the creatures themselves. She lives in Evanston, Illinois.
