Happy Easter, Curious George
George and the man with the yellow hat drive to the park. It is Easter
and children are flying kites, decorating eggs, and rolling eggs in
races. George feeds a white bunny a carrot. When George goes to dye
eggs, the bunny runs away. George mixes colors to make new ones and even
juggles the dyed eggs. When he sees a man hiding eggs, George thinks
the man is losing them and collects all the eggs. When he sees a white
egg, it turns out to be the bunny's tail. The man in the yellow hat has
George rehide the eggs so the children can find them. "It was the best
egg hunt ever!" The pictures show George hiding eggs in a bird nest, in a
boy's pocket, and a squirrel hole. At the back are sparkly
egg-decorating stickers. The pictures are in the style of H.A. Rey, the
original creator of Curious George. 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. Share this post with your family and friends.

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.

Bunny's Easter Egg
Bunny has been working hard all night to hide beautiful eggs for the
hunt on Easter morning, and now she would like nothing better than to
take a long quiet nap. She still has one egg in her basket, but it is
very plain, and anyway, she is too tired to hide any more eggs. But try
as she might, she cannot find a good place to sleep. The birds are
chirping, the frogs are croaking, the mice are squeaking…how will she
ever get any sleep? After trying a series of likely spots the garden,
the boat at the pond, a hollow in some tree roots she finally ends up
back in her own egg basket and finds that she now has a new companion in
place of the plain brown egg. The story line is simple with lots of
repetition, which will appeal to young listeners. This is definitely a
"read to" book since the vocabulary is often beyond the target audience
age range (e.g., wheelbarrow, burrowing, etc.). The illustrations are
exquisitely executed with beautiful colors and engaging depictions of
small animals, flowers, and brightly colored eggs. There is even a
challenge in the beginning of the book to find all the eggs hidden in
the book's illustrations. A timely addition for the Easter season, this
book would make a nice personal gift, but is of limited utility for
classroom discussion or group work.

Biggest Easter Basket Ever
Mouseville residents are all excited by the upcoming Easter festivities.
The mayor has announced that there will be an egg rolling contest,
Easter egg hunt and a contest to see who can make the biggest Easter
basket. Clayton and Desmond are each determined to win and they prepare
really huge baskets, but when they check out those of their friends they
realize that the others are about the same size. The solution becomes
fairly obvious Desmond and Clayton decide to cooperate and together
with their families they do build the biggest and best Easter basket.
The friends win the contest and share all the goodies with those who are
participating in the festivities. The added attraction in this book is
the series of foil egg stickers (for which there is no explanation or
apparent use in the book).
A delightful children's Easter story book. Recommend for kids ages 4 8.
