Selecting Easter Picture Books For Children

By Iva Cannon


The early-in-the-year holidays are definitely on the way and it is time to come up with personal and unique gifts for all the little ones in your life. Easter picture books for children always make interesting and wonderful presents for all the youngsters you know. Take the time to make a list of everyone you need to buy for before heading out on a shopping trip.



The sturdy cardboard styles are perfect for the littlest toddlers on your long list. The wording is very brief but to the point. Some of these versions also have extras such as textured pictures so the young child can actually feel the long fox tail or the soft fur of a baby lamb. Their tiny fingers will be able to understand parts of the story as you read the story to them.

The larger sizes of the volumes with pages of illustrations and designs make wonderful presents for the kindergartners and preschoolers that you know. In the days and weeks before this holiday arrives, make a point to read to this sleepy heads every night before this special holiday arrives. They will always recall this time of their life as very memorable and unique. You can also take credit for expanding their creativity and imagination.

Simple versions can be purchased that elementary school students will find very easy to read. There is such a wide selection of themes such as humor, adventure, and true stories to flip through and read by themselves. The illustrations will give them cues that assist with their vocabulary. Older brothers and sisters can read aloud to younger siblings and practice their new found skills and promote bonding between family members.

Over-sized volumes can actually double as decorations in your home. Prop them on side tables, use them as centerpieces along with fresh flowers, and stack them on the coffee and side tables for holiday appeal. Look for the editions with colorful illustrations and unique illustrations.

Winsome rabbits always seem to the the main characters in many of the holiday stories as do lambs and baby chicks. Accompany the gifts with matching stuffed animals to go along with all of the reading materials. You can even buy hand puppets and act out the stories and poems.

Religious works are also available. They tell the story of this wondrous holiday and how it came about. They explain that bunnies and colored eggs are not the most important things of the Sunday that it is celebrated. The family can actually read one of these stories at their holiday feast to help remind all of what they are truly celebrating.

Show how much you love the youngsters in your life with these special gifts. They are very personal presents that speak right from the heart, especially if you have taken the time and energy to choose the perfect ones for these little ones. You can wrap them up as gifts or, if the size is right, place them in handled baskets along with candy and chocolates. When the holiday is past, just pack them up and take them out again next year to enjoy all over again.
