Review
This is an Easter board book for babies and toddlers about all the activities small children look forward to. It begins with excitement "The Easter bunny is coming!" with Patricelli's baby character clothed in the diaper surrounded by spring flowers. Then Mom, Dad and baby dye eggs, mix colors, do an art project, pretend to be Easter bunnies, put out baskets, try to stay awake to see the Easter Bunny. In the morning the baby finds all the Easter surprises and goes on an Easter egg hunt. Ends with a Happy Easter! with baby surrounded with eggs that child can find a adult reads pink, dots, stripes, etc... Well done with a good variety of activities about the holiday to prepare children for the holiday and good ideas for parents. Children will enjoy the age appropriate illustrations that are outlined with thick black lines. Prepare to read again and again.
