Ogres Don't Hunt Easter Eggs (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition)
Description
The Bailey School kids devise a plan to find out if Mr. Bigg--the man who is fixing up the park for the town Easter egg hunt--is really an ogre as Eddie claims. It's been raining ever since Mr. Bigg arrived in town, and although he is supposed to be fixing the park, he seems to be making it so no one will bother him there. The kids suspect he might be an ogre trying to make the park his home. They decide to investigate to see if they can uncover the truth and stop him in time for the Spring Festival. The book includes pages of super spring puzzles and activities.
