Spring & Easter Books for Kids

Hooray! Hooray! Spring time is here! We are ready for flowers and fresh air, and most of all, some sunshine!!! Today we are sharing some of our favorite Spring and Easter books for kids. These titles are all perfect for Easter baskets (if you’re still working on your bunny duties). Plus, after weeks of quarantine, and with weeks more to go, it might just be an opportune time to add to your seasonal library! Either way, we have included a variety of picture books, non-fiction books, and board books that bring our family a lot of joy:

Stories from Bug Garden This is, perhaps, the most endearing collection of whimsical stories that we have on our bookshelves! Each little bug’s personality is unique and captivating, and the illustrations are beyond darling. We all absolutely adore this book, and I can say with confidence it is one of my all-time favorite children’s books!

Pairs! In the Garden This lift-the-flap matching book is filled with the sweetest illustrations and playful poems about each garden-dwelling animal. In addition to the matching the animals under flaps, readers are encouraged to identify the odd one out, and find a certain number of additional creatures within each illustration.

Miss Rumphius This book has brought inspiration and wonder into my life since I was a little girl! A beautiful tale about an adventurous and giving woman who seeks a way to make the world more beautiful.

Let it Rain This is one of a 4-book series that highlights the magic and excitement of each season. The books all follow the same rhyming pattern. We have all four books and love them all!

On Meadowview Street Caroline moves onto Meadowview street– only there is no meadow– just boring yard, after boring yard. With a little time and patience she is able to convince her parents to let their yard grow wildly, and before long the whole neighborhood begins to change in wonderful ways!

An Egg is Quiet An informative book with the most beautiful illustrations. It is perfect for little non-fiction readers. A Nest is Noisy is just as stunning!

Spectacular Spring Another wonderful non-fiction book that teaches young readers all about springtime and includes a variety of spring crafts and activities!

Mr. Putter and Tabby Paint the Porch It’s springtime and Mr. Putter wants to paint his porch. He gets started and everything is going well until a squirrel shows up. We love all the Mr. Putter and Tabby books, but this is one of our very favorites!

Poppleton in Spring In this collection of charming stories, Poppleton tries to do some spring cleaning, searches for a new bike, and stays up all night in his new tent, noticing all of the spring wonders that occur when the rest of the world is sleeping.

Little Blue Truck’s Springtime Yoo hoo! Little Blue Truck drives around the farm with his good friend Toad and greets all the animals and their adorable new babies. The happy rhymes and cheerful illustrations are sure to leave you smiling!

Baby Bear Sees Blue Baby Bear awakens from his winter hibernation. He ventures out of his cave with his mama and sees the vibrant colors of the world for the first time. This story introduces colors in such a clever way, and the lino cut illustrations are absolutely incredible! Not only is this one of our favorite spring books, it’s one of our favorite books to give as a gift.

It’s Spring! A cheerful rhyming book where animals joyfully alert one another that spring has arrived!

Muncha! Muncha! Muncha! This hilarious story about three clever bunnies that repeatedly outwit a first-time farmer to steal his veggies is one of our very favorites. Perfect for Easter AND springtime!

The Good Egg I discovered this wonderful book this year after designing our GOOD EGG Easter shirts! Kismet! It’s an adorable story about a good egg who learns the importance of self care as well as not taking himself too seriously.

Rechenka’s Eggs Babushka is preparing her painted eggs for the annual Easter festival when she discovers, Rechenka, an injured goose. She takes Rechenka in and cares for her. This is such a tender story about giving selflessly and the magic of miracles.

Hop! Hop! These baby stories are just our favorite! This book highlights the joys of celebrating Easter, from bunny slippers to egg hunts!

Owen’s Marshmallow Chick On Easter morning Owen goes through his Easter basket and devours each of his treats, claiming they are his favorites. Once he reaches the yellow marshmallow chick, he decides instead to play with it, as it is actually his favorite. Appropriately, of all our Easter books, this is Cole’s favorite!

We’re Going on An Egg Hunt An adorable lift the flap book that follows bunnies as they go on an egg hunt… to the tune of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt. We love the illustrations and the kids think finding the non-egg items under the flaps is quite a hoot!

The Night Before Easter It’s the Easter Bunny’s turn to be featured in this beloved holiday poem. It’s a sweet and easy read that our kids really enjoy!

He is Risen Rocks Tell the Story of Easter Our little geologist loves how the Easter story is told so creatively with rocks.

Bunny Trouble Another favorite from my childhood, Max the bunny is part of the egg decorating colony, but he is far more interested in soccer, which leads to all sorts of problems!
