The Easter Bunny's Assistant by Jan Thomas

The Easter Bunny, along with assistant Skunk, shows “how to make BEAUTIFUL Easter eggs!” The bunny shows step by step how to boil the eggs, create the coloured dyes to decorate them. Skunk is so excited about the activity he releases his trademark smell. Bunny pushes Skunk out of the room to watch the rest of the process through a window. After encouragement from the reader, Bunny lets Skunk help hide the eggs, along with a peg on Bunny’s nose.

Egg by Kevin Henkes

“This masterful and stylistically original picture book introduces young children to four eggs. One is blue, one is pink, one is yellow, and one is green. Three of the eggs hatch, revealing three baby birds who fly away. But the green egg does not hatch. Why not? When the three birds return to investigate, they’re in for a big surprise! What will happen next?” Greenwillow Books

Here Comes the Easter Cat by Deborah Underwood

“Why should the Easter Bunny get all the love? That's what Cat would like to know. So he decides to take over: He dons his sparkly suit, jumps on his Harley, and roars off into the night. But it turns out delivering Easter eggs is hard work. And it doesn't leave much time for naps (of which Cat has taken five--no, seven). So when a pooped-out Easter Bunny shows up, and with a treat for Cat, what will Cat do? His surprise solution will be stylish, smart, and even—yes—kind.” Dial Books

The Legend of the Sand Dollar: An Inspirational Story of Hope for Easter by Chris Auer

“The Legend of the Sand Dollar tells the story of Kerry, as her cousin Jack reveals to her the deeper meaning of Easter hidden within something as small as a sand dollar. This Easter tale reminds everyone everywhere that when Jesus died for us and was resurrected, he promised hope for all.” Zonderkidz

The Story of Easter by Make Believe Ideas

“The Story of Easter is a fabulous, new inspirational book, perfect for very young children. Children will love reading, hearing and learning about the amazing story of Easter, which is told in rhyme with simple words so little ones can understand.” Thomas Nelson

Rechenka's Eggs by Patricia Polacco

“Old Babushka, known throughout all of Moskva for her beautifully painted eggs, is preparing her eggs for the Easter Festival when she takes in an injured goose. She names the goose Rechenka, and they live happily together until one day when Rechenka accidentally overturns a basket, breaking all of Babushka's lovingly crafted eggs. But the next morning Babushka has a surprise awaiting her in the basket. She cries: "A miracle!" It is one of many in this charmingly told tale of friendship and caring.” Puffin Books
