EASTER BOOKS FOR PRESCHOOL
Easter Bunny: Touch & Feel is a rhyming book that has a different animal on each page with a different texture to explore. Kids will love the large photographs (not illustrations) and enjoy the lyrical rhythm of the words.
Happy Easter, Biscuit! is a lift-the-flap book that has little ones follow Biscuit while he’s hunting for Easter eggs. This is a great option if your kiddos like the Biscuit books.
Peeps: The Sweetest Easter is a fun and colorful book that comes with Easter stickers inside! It talks about what Peeps like to do for Easter, and it also includes egg holders in case you’re going to decorate eggs with your little ones.
Where Are Baby’s Easter Eggs? is a classic book from Karen Katz. Her books are always colorful, interactive (lift-the-flap), and practice positional words like under, behind, and in. The Easter version follows baby as she searches for her Easter eggs.
The Bunny Rabbit Show is a super fun Sandra Boynton board book. Chances are, you’ve already read at least one of her other books (like Barnyard Dance or Snuggle Puppy or Oh My Oh My Oh Dinosaurs!) This one is not specifically an Easter book, but it’s great if your little ones love humor and singing (And as you can see from the cover, this book is well-loved in our house!)

The Easter Bunny’s Helpers starts with Easter Bunny needing some help with Easter this year. His friends Emu, Kangaroo, Koala, and Cockatoo are happy to help!

Ha!
