Easter is a holiday like Christmas in that for many people it has deep religious significance while for others it is a holiday for fun and family. Either way kids enjoy books about Easter because they love the Easter Bunny (who doesn't love a cute bunny?) and Easter eggs are just fun to color and hunt. Some of the books here are from book series so kids will enjoy reading about familiar characters on Easter.
Few of us haven't heard or read the lines "Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse." The rhyme and rhythm of the poem makes it such fun to read. Now children (and adults) can enjoy the same rhyme and rhythm put to Easter. Here are the first two lines:
Instead of Santa, we have the Easter Bunny.

Just who is the Easter Bunny and how exactly did he become the Easter Bunny? Katherine Tegen provides the background story for us (at least her version of it). It turns out that the Easter Bunny started out as a little white rabbit who watches an elderly couple make chocolate and paint Easter eggs. He starts out helping them just a little bit, but helps more and more over the years. Eventually he becomes the Easter Bunny! But that's just the bare bones of the story. The story and the illustrations that go with it fill in the details in a very charming way.

If you are looking for a story with a great plot, this probable isn't the right book for you. However, if you are looking for a fun story, then this is a good choice. If you don't know, Marley is a dog that never fails to get into trouble. But he's so lovable in spite of the messes he makes that it's hard not to love him. This is especially true if you have read some of the other books in the series. It's fun to see just what kind of trouble Marley can get into on Easter.

Some books are classics. They stand the test of time and appeal to generation after generation. That's a feat for any book, but it's more of a feat for children's books. This is one such book. It is almost 40 years old and is as charming as ever. It is about a solitary and lonely bunny on a quest for companionship. He talks to an owl, who tells him that "there are always rabbits at Easter." The bunny thinks it is a place and goes off in search of it. Eventually, spring, and Easter along with it, arrive and as the owl told him, there are rabbits. The lonely bunny finds a companion, has seven baby bunnies and learns about rebirth.

This is a sweet story about Hoppi, a young bunny. All the bunnies are decorating eggs as best they can in hopes that the Easter Bunny will choose them to be the Easter Bunny's helper. He sees what the older bunnies are doing with their fancy decorations and realizes that he can't do what they are doing. Feeling sad and discouraged, Hoppi walks in the woods to think. While he's there, a robin's egg falls out of its nest. Hoppi becomes its foster parent and instead of decorating eggs, he cares for the egg until it hatches and a baby robin comes out. When the Easter Bunny arrives to choose the bunny with the best egg to be his helper, guess who he chooses!

What's wrong with having an Easter Cat instead of an Easter Bunny? It's hardly fair that a cat can't do what a bunny can do. The idea of an Easter Cat makes this story unique, but it's even more unique because the cat doesn't talk. Instead, he lets his wishes be known to the story's narrator through facial expressions, body language, and signs. The story is quite humorous with the cat attempting to demonstrate how he is just as capable of delivering Easter eggs (on a motorcycle). He has to rethink his goal, though, once he realizes that he won't have much time for cat naps.

The Night Before Easter
Few of us haven't heard or read the lines "Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, Not a creature was stirring not even a mouse." The rhyme and rhythm of the poem makes it such fun to read. Now children (and adults) can enjoy the same rhyme and rhythm put to Easter. Here are the first two lines:
"Twas the night before Easter, just before dawn,
Not a creature was stirring out on the lawn."
Instead of Santa, we have the Easter Bunny.
