Spring Books for Children

 
In our house, reading has always been an important activity. When the boys were younger,we always had a supply of seasonal books on display in their rooms for bedtime reading, or really for anytime they felt like picking up a book. It was always fun to visit the book store and pick up a few new stories to add to our collection. When I tell you that we have a ridiculous amount of books in our attic, I'm not kidding, but I cannot even contemplate ever parting with them. Not only are they great stories, they are also reminders of very special moments. Today, I want to share a few of our favorites with you. Some  are still available for purchase, others may require a trip to the library(and that is a good thing). I've attached links for your convenience.
  
I fondly remember this book from my childhood and made sure I bought a copy when I had children of my own. I've always been a fan of Wende & Harry Devlin and their Cranberry series, and this book is a sweet story as well. Fletcher is a dog who has decided that he needs to hatch out of an egg in order to get the attention that the new little chicks are getting. It is a very sweet story.
  
Norman Bridwell books were always favorites here. Clifford and this little Easter adventure will please the younger kids for sure.
 
Another story that was popular here(especially with me) is this precious story of a tiny family and their adventures as they search for their grandfather's umbrella in the garden. Love this one!
  
Our collection of Berenstain Bear books is never ending. Great stories covering a wide range of topics, always with a sweet lesson.

   The Easter Story
 Real Easter Eggs
Is it even Easter if this classic isn't mentioned?
  
Disney fans will find this Pooh story endearing. Pooh and his favorite pals go on an Easter adventure that will delight your little ones.
If your child enjoys chapter books, Junie B. Jones is always a fun choice. She is a spunky little girl who always gets herself into a little bit of a mess. She is funny,clever and the stories are great.
  
Freddy Thresher is a sweet boy who often doubts himself ,but seems to muster up the courage to face his fears. This particular spring story is for the younger beginning readers, but there is an entire series of chapter books for the primary grade level .
 
This story is an oldie but a fun one. Judy Delton's Pee Wee Scouts are always up for an adventure as they work to earn badges for their good deeds. Great stories for Girl & Boy Scouts.
  
If you are celebrating Passover, this sweet book is a wonderful choice.
Sticker books like this one are always a great way to keep children entertained while learning about the holidays.
Pippa's Passover Plate is a heartwarming story about a mouse that is preparing her home for the holiday when she realizes she cannot find her seder plate. She enlists the help of her neighbors and when she finds it, invites them all to share the holiday with her.
There are many,many wonderful stories available about Easter,Passover and spring. These are just some suggestions based on what we've enjoyed throughout the years. Books make great additions to Easter baskets. I hope you and your little ones enjoy some of these as well.
