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. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Let us know what other children's books you would like to have reviewed. Share this post with your friends.

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.

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. Leave us your comments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

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. Let us know what other kids books you would like to have reviewed.

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.
