Kid’s Spring & Easter Books
It’s such a nice feeling when spring arrives. The sun shines longer, the air is warmer and it’s a time for new growth and new beginnings. It’s when baby animals are born, birds return and flowers break through the earth. It’s also the time when Easter is celebrated. While many indulge in chocolate bunnies and eggs, a lot of parents are opting to give non-sugar gift alternatives. Spring and Easter storybooks fit in this category nicely.
Granted, while some kids may roll their eyes at receiving books instead of a basket, many more will embrace the gift and enjoy reading some new and engaging stories. This spring season I’ve added several new storybooks to our family library. While they’re not all specifically about Easter, they still reflect the ambiance naturally associated with the spring season.
The Easter Bunny is coming to Canada is a charming story about a very busy Easter bunny. She has just finished delivering all the Easter eggs and now it’s time for her to revel in the moment and participate in some of the fun and celebrations. As she hops to various cities in Canada, she enjoys a bunch of different adventures. Picnics, egg decorating, egg rolls, exciting parades; oh what fun! She also helps children, makes them laugh, and wiggles and giggles her way into their hearts. The content is written in a rhyming format and the images and landscapes are beautifully illustrated with cheerful colors. (Ages 4 – 8)
