WEEK OF MARCH 27 – APRIL 2
Just ask any youngster, there’s nothing like dressing up for a good old Easter egg hunt and sporting a cool basket for stashing discovered treats. Easter baskets are usually overflowing with candy, eggs, chocolate bunnies and even edible grass, but many forget to make room for one more treasure in this colorful nest – a book. And there’s plenty of reading material to choose from.
Store aisles are hopping with Easter classics, picture books, musical books, activity books and even starter Bibles for kids of all ages. An assortment of bunnies grace the cover of almost every book on display. Obviously, rabbits are almost as adorable as kids, especially during springtime. Easter Sunday is April 12, 2009, and just one more reason to give a kid a great book!
