Blue's Egg Hunt (Blue's Clues)

This is a good story book for the kids that like to search for things on the page and count.

This story starts out with Blue and Steve getting ready to head off for the spring fair. As they do, Periwinkle shows up. He's bored and thinks there's nothing to do. Steve thinks it's a great spring day, but Periwinkle wonders what's so great about spring. He gets invited to the spring fair. He wonders if there'll be a magic show. Steve says that he's not sure, but there'll be plenty of other fun stuff to do. As it turns out, the spring fair is pretty fun. There are various booths, including a lemonade stand, and the first one that they visit, a leaf-printing booth (run by Magenta.) Along the way, we also search for eggs. Blue, Steve and Periwinkle also dress up as animals and plant seeds. Though there is no magic show, Periwinkle has a lot of fun anyway. A bright and lively "Blue's Clues" story fitting the season it portrays. This one has added fun of seeing the characters dressed up in costumes. Steve looks particularly funny in bunny ears. Regarding political correctness, "Blue's Clues" has had plenty of stories in which it refers to holidays by name. Easter is not referred to as Easter in this book because the events do not occur at Easter. Steve, Blue and Periwinkle attend a spring fair, nothing more, nothing less.

Blue's Clue's books and dvd's are very educational and entertaining for young children and my grandson really loves this book. He carries his Blue's Clue's books to bed with him.

Steven takes Blue and Periwinkle into town where they get to go to a Spring fair. They take part in several activities including making painted leaf prints and an egg hunt. Fun book but It bothers me so much that these kids books have to be so politically correct that they cannot call it an "Easter egg hunt". I mean, at what other time of year do children hunt for eggs?
