The Easter holiday has inspired some great children’s books. Are you looking for some new books to read with the kids over the Easter holiday? Check out some of our favorite Easter books for preschoolers.
Happy Easter, Curious George
This was a delightful book for my young Curious George fan. The repetition is great for building vocabulary and familiarizing children with reading. The illustrations are simply wonderful. The glitter stickers in the back of the book are a bonus and perfect for Easter decorating. This was indeed a very cute book to read at Easter.
Ollie’s Easter Eggs (reader)
In “Ollie’s Easter Eggs”- Gossie, Gertie, BooBoo, and Peedie—4 tiny, but assertive ducks from the Gossie & Friends seriesBoard Books for Easter for Toddlers—gather, dye, and hide eggs for Easter. Olliw wants eggs too though; sporting a pink bunny-eared bonnet, Ollie moves the eggs to a hiding spot, leading to the ducks searching and hunting for their eggs.
My 4-year-old daughter loved this book and how sneaky Ollie was as he snatched the hidden dyed eggs and re-hid them! This is a cute addition to this popular series. My daughter had a number of the Ollie Series of board books when she was younger. The level 1 reader is just right for children beginning to sound out words. The book is written with simple sentences with lots of repetition. The repetition allows young readers to read some words along with their parents.
The Great Easter Race! (Sesame Street Scribbles)
So far we’ve liked all of the Sesame Scribbles books. The illustrations in the book are bright and colorful and will engage young children. The book consists of simple sentences and rhyming text that children can interact with. This was indeed a delightful addition to my daughter’s book collection and although Easter themed, I am sure she will enjoy it when Easter is over.
