Dumb Bunnies' Easter

It is December 24th and the Dumb Bunnies are preparing to celebrate a non traditional Easter. Beginning with a shamrock adorned sign that declares "Merry Halloween" the Bunnies carry on with their festivities by nailing valentines to the walls and windows, selecting their Easter tree, hanging decorations on themselves, and spray-painting fried eggs. They spend the night awaiting the arrival of the Easter Bunny, who appears in a red minivan pulled by flying pilgrims to drop raw eggs down the chimney. Anyone already familiar with the Dumb Bunnies will get exactly what they expect from this newest title. Preschoolers and kindergarteners will roll with the oh so obvious humor. "I am good at picking things," says Baby Bunny, knuckle deep into his nostril. The illustrations are done with "watercolors, India ink, acrylics, and Hamburger Helper" provide the perfect bucktoothed bunnies for the simple illustrations that pair beautifully with the simple story. Anyone who enjoys a little silly humor now and then is sure to appreciate sharing the holiday with these Bunnies. This Easter kids book is for children reading levels ages 4-8.

Fancy Nancy's Elegant Easter

We do not do a lot of sweets in our house so kids books like these are perfect for holidays that have candy as the primary focus. These Easter books are written well enough, but there is something more special about the hardback ones these ones seem to be written by ghostwriter not Jane O'Connor. This won't stop me from buying them on holiday's. They are nice for Easter and other holidays, but they are not loved as much as the rest of the series. This Easter kids book did include pop up features, which my four year old loved so much and anything Fancy Nancy is a winner in our house I just missed the quality of the hardcover books. This children's book is for kids reading levels ages 4-8. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Let us know what other children's books you would like to have reviewed.

The Easter Egg

It is springtime. Hoppi, a young bunny, would like to win the right to help the Easter Rabbit hide the eggs by decorating the winning egg. He needs an "amazing idea" for his first egg ever. Searching, he passes other bunnies at work, making eggs with flowers, from carved wood, chocolate, and Granny Ireney makes "fabulous story eggs." Overwhelmed by the possibilities, Hoppi decides to, "just make an egg I am proud of." Just then, an egg tumbles from Mother Robin's nest. It must be kept warm until it hatches. Through days and nights, Hoppi never leaves it. For this good deed, the Easter Rabbit chooses him for a place of honor on Easter. The front jacket/cover portrait of our nattily jacketed hero surrounded by a frame of decorated eggs, plus the five bunnies at work on the eggs in a similar frame on the back introduce the double pages of the highly detailed, naturalistic scenes. Additional vignettes along with frames bursting with plants, flowers, and other busy bunnies attend the drama of the egg. Watercolors and gouache with added airbrush background produce these delightfully attractive characters and settings. A foldout is needed to display the Easter Bunny's wagon pulled by golden chickens. And the moral should be clear to young readers. This children's book is for kids reading levels ages 4-8.

The Story of Easter: Read and Share

This Easter children's book, The Story of Easter, certainly did not disappoint my kindergarten age son or I. The book starts with the procession of Palm Sunday, with Jesus riding on the donkey, then takes the reader through Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and finally Easter Sunday. I was quite impressed with the close to truth telling of the story, as it is sometimes difficult to tell this story to children. It is written in a simple, yet truthful manner for all to understand. The illustrations are also a plus, giving the reader an often needed visual (yet not too scary with the events of Good Friday). I entirely recommend this book for all families who have small children and want to explain a bit fuller the truths and events of Holy Week. This Easter children's book is for kids reading levels ages 4-8. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Let us know what other children's books you would like to have reviewed.

Where Are Baby's Easter Eggs?

Baby is looking for Easter Eggs. Where are they hidden? She looks behind the bushes, in the laundry basket, behind the flowers, under the picnic table, up in the tree and even behind the gate. She does not find the eggs until the end, but at each "lift the flap" there are items that relate to Easter, such as a bonnet, jelly beans, bunnies and chicks. At last she finds the shiny colored eggs. The celebration can begin. Toddlers always enjoy lifting the flaps to see what is behind them. The little round headed baby changes poses on each page. Children are introduced to a variety of vocabulary-extending prepositions as well as items that relate to Easter. The card stock flaps are probably not sturdy enough for libraries, but this Easter children's book would be a nice addition to an Easter basket. This Easter children's book is for kids reading levels baby-preschool, ages 0-4. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Easter Mice!

Mother Mouse bedecked in her Easter bonnet takes her three children dressed in jackets and ties outside for an egg hunt. The two older ones begin to search right away but the youngest gets sidetracked. He thoroughly enjoys picking flowers ("Sniff! Whiff!/ Spring! Fling!"), rolling in the mud, swinging on a branch, and boating on a leaf. When Mother Mouse gathers her three boys, the youngest is upset because he is the only one with no eggs. He runs away but happens upon an egg that cracks and reveals "An Easter friend." Cushman's illustrations in springtime colors extend a spare but energetic text that is full of action words. The expressive faces of the little mice will engage the reader. There are a number of imaginative touches in the interior of the house, such as the pencil that serves as a curtain rod and the postage stamp that is a picture on the wall. A nice little holiday story with a reassuring premise for young listeners.

Easter in Harwick

This was the first Easter children's book I had bought for my son age 3. He really enjoys the Thomas and Friends books/toys, so I knew this would be a hit. At this age I have been buying holiday books that get him into the spirit and it has really made him understand once the holiday came. We still have to read it once and a while so it is not just for Easter. This kids Easter book is for kids ages 4-8.
