The Story of Easter by Patricia Pingry Tells the Easter story in language toddlers and preschoolers can understand. I love the ending where it says that Jesus had to give his life so we could have life!
The Night Before Easter by Natasha Wing - Uses the familiar Twas the Night before Christmas story but includes all the elements of Easter. I always enjoy Natasha Wing's writing style and humor.
Pooh's Easter Basket Cute book about colors. Each of the Winnie the Pooh characters find eggs of different colors.

Where are Baby's Easter Eggs? by Karen Katz. Cute story that takes baby on a lift the flap adventure to find hidden Easter eggs. Tyson got this book last year for Easter. We have had to reinforce the flaps since then. I guess it is just well loved!Where are Baby's Easter Eggs

Tyson is getting Slide and Find Easter by Roger Priddy- Tyson loves finding hidden items in books. The slides in this book are very sturdy!
