Easter Children’s Books

Easter Books For Children of All Ages

When you are selecting an Easter gift for children or assembling an Easter basket for a child, be sure to include a few great Easter children’s books. There are amazing books for children of all ages ranging from baby to teen. Books are often the best gifts a child will receive. Something they will keep and read over and over again.

If you have children on your list who are not yet reading (babies and toddlers) there are great books just for them that will introduce them to the fabulous world of books. If you have children who are tweens and teens, there are great books for them with a story that will take them on a journey time and time again.

Books are a great gift any time of the year. An Easter themed book makes a great gift by itself, in a group of gifts, or as part of a their Easter gift basket. If you are sending the book all alone as a gift, check for options when you are looking at the full details pages to find out if there is a ‘gift’ option. You can have the book shipped to anyone you choose and if the ‘gift’ option is available you can even include a message with your gift. The ‘gift’ option will also prompt the removal of price information from the delivery!

Great idea for distance gifting or just across town so children will receive packages by mail for Easter and other holidays.

Easter Children’s Books for Baby

 Baby’s First EasterCheck Price
When you are shopping for a baby, always make sure the book has no choking hazards. Check the full description to ensure the book is not going to have small parts, like fluffy bunny noses or tails, that can be bitten off and swallowed.

Here are a couple of Easter Books created with a baby in mind.

 

Baby’s First Easter Book

Books for babies need to be washable, at least with a damp cloth, as well as colorfully entertaining. Babies are going to chew on their books, so be sure it is safe and cleanable.

When selecting a book for a baby, the focus should be on pictures and what they will enjoy looking at. This padded cover picture book has adorable pictures and is perfect for a baby. It is also a small book which makes it an easy book for babies to hold. It is a great “first” Easter book for a baby.

Recommended for ages Newborn – 3

 

 Where Are Baby’s Easter Eggs?: A Lift-the-Flap Book (Karen Katz Lift-the-Flap Books)Check Price

This “lift the flap” book is somewhat interactive since it features little surprises to discover beneath the flaps as baby “reads” along with you or flips through the colorful pages alone. It is reminiscent of a hide and seek or peek-a-boo game.

It has short, simple writing and the book is illustrated with bright pictures that are sure to entertain babies and toddlers.

This would make a lovely addition to an Easter basket or given as a singular gift.

Recommended for ages 1 – 4 years.

 

 

Toddler’s Easter Books

 Thumper Finds an Egg (Disney Bunnies)Check PriceBoard books and soft books are great for toddlers. They are also easy to clean (following the cleaning recommendations — often using a antibacterial cloth is sufficient).

Find fun topics, read to your children, share about your experiences, and encourage them to read to each other. If they are not yet reading encourage them to tell stories they make up themselves based on the pictures in each book. Sometimes the stories they create are better than the stories in the book and often very entertaining. Nothing compares to the active imagination of a child.

Thumper is always a favorite and this story is adorable!

Recommended for ages 3 – 5

 

Easter Eggspress! (Thomas & Friends)

 EASTER EGGSPRESS!Check PriceChildren adore Thomas & Friends! The train characters are popular with both girls and boys.

I have found from experience that children enjoy books that feature the characters they are already familiar with and already love. They are often the best choice when you are buying any special holiday book.

In many cases, you can find enough character items (books, toys, etc.) to fill an entire Easter basket. That is always a guaranteed hit with any child.

The Easter Eggspress with Thomas & Friends is a coloring and activity book that follows a storyline about the mishaps when preparing for an Easter parade. The book features fold out play scenes, write on/wipe off activities, coloring pages and reusable stickers for hours of interaction and entertainment.

Easter Children’s Books for Kids 9 And Over

As kids get a bit older they aren’t going to enjoy the style generally created for babies, toddlers, and early education.

They are going to be prefer a book with a story line that is a more in-depth, where the reading is more challenging and the illustrations more age appropriate. This is where something a bit more fun comes into play.

These selections are based on ratings, age recommendations and books that my own children have read.

Each of the books in this section have a unique approach to giving kids and adults new perspectives for reading and story telling.
