This is a sturdy, durable board book that contains simple yet lovely illustrations of seasonal novelties such as baby animals born in Spring, Easter lilies and bonnets, the Easter Bunny bringing baskets, and the whole family coloring eggs together and participating in an Easter egg hunt on the farm. It takes a quiet, simple, secular approach to presenting Easter and Spring concepts, and, therefore, it is perfectly appropriate for any young child. The emphasis of this book is more on illustration than on text or storyline which is fine because it elicits conversation and the opportunity to teach an infant/toddler about the images depicted. My son just had his second Easter and he still enjoys the illustrations -- specifically finding and pointing out all the eggs and bunnies throughout the book. The only complaint I have is that I wish this book was longer! It positively oozes old-fashioned charm and is sure to please both children and parents alike.

This was a lovely little book for an infant/toddler to introduce them to the Easter customs. It does not touch on the real meaning of Easter, but I don't know that it is easy for a child this young to understand anyway. Simple, bright pastel colored drawings.

Our 3.5 month old son really looked at this book...which is saying a lot at that age! We recommend it as a good book for the very littlest "reader."

I bought this book for my 12 month old daughter. It really is a lovely simple book with beautiful pictures and simple words. She will happily sit and look at the book herself. A nice easter gift for any child.

Simple text wonderfully illustrated by Tomi DePaola. The board pages are perfect for baby's first Easter.

My kids like this board book on Easter. As always dePaola drawings are fresh and clean. There is something to point out on every page that is beyond the story.

My grandson is just 4.5 month old but he adores books. He loved it. I read it over and over as he turned the pages. Colorful. Lots to see on each page.

This was purchased for my newest grandson. I think he will love it and I know it will last forever.
