If you saw my Easter basket for the girls in my latest Little Loves post you may have wondered what it consisted of. A selection of cuddly toys, a couple of drinks containers a DVD and books. All these things were gathered over time and some are from last years Easter. Shush don't tell the girls ok?
Of course my favourite part of this little basket apart from the bunnies are the books that slotted into the back. Are you sitting comfortably then I will begin to tell you all about the ones I included this year.
Spot
the Dog – I was delighted
to pick up two books featuring Spot at an NCT sale that made it into the basket
this year. Spot’s First Easter has fold the flap sections great for little
fingers who love to help discover things and Spot’s Easter Surprise is a simple
board book that has an egg hunt running through it. These books are a great way in which to
introduce Easter traditions to little ones.
Guess
How Much I Love You – Who
doesn't love the original Guess How Much I Love You book featuring little and
big Nutbrown Hare? Whilst to accompany
it the Spring edition is fantastic for introducing the season. These are
gorgeous books with which to snuggle down at bedtime to read.
As you can see we seem to have a bit of an
obsession for rabbits in this house. Unfortunately, hubby is not so keen at the
idea of having a live bunny hop through our house but maybe one day the girls
will wear him down.
What books would you suggest I add to the
girls Easter book list?
Lovely choices, books make the best gifts! Thanks for sharing with #ReadWithMe
ReplyDeleteThank you. They sure do.
DeleteWhat a lovely selection of Easter books! BookBairn loves Spot so these would go down a treat with her! We like 'Egg' by Jonathan Litton and Fhiona Galloway too and would recommend it as a good one to add to your collection! #readwithme
ReplyDeleteThank you for the recommendation. I'll be sure to look into it.
DeleteI hope you had a lovely Easter. We also like Rabbits Don't Lay Eggs by Paula Metcalf & Cally Johnson-Isaacs.

We did thank you. That sounds like a very amusing book.
DeleteSnap! We got the Bunny book for our little one this easter. I am hoping I can get both my boys into books as I love reading. We also got Bings Easter Egg Hunt one which my older son loved. Ha Ha I am sure you will be able to persuade him for a real bunny soon?!? #DreamTeam
ReplyDeleteYou never know one day he may cave
Deletethese bring back great memories, we used to have these books, we still have Guess How Much I Love You, such a classic, but my kids always loved Spot too. Happy Easter xx #mg
ReplyDeleteGot to love the classics. I was unaware of that book until my girls appeared i my arms.
DeleteI recognise some of the books here!!! Thanks for sharing with #GlobalBlogging
ReplyDeleteGreat!!!
DeleteSome classic choices here. Guess How Much I Love you is gorgeous and you really can't go wrong with Spot.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a nice Easter
#readwithme
You're right they are lovely classics
DeleteBooks are always a great idea, and especially for Easter when most of our children's relatives will just buy chocolate. This Easter I bought Cygnet "The Smartest Giant in Town". It is not an Easter theme but it is a lovely book. Thanks for the themed suggestions. Pen x #mg
ReplyDeleteThese certainly last longer. Thank you for sharing your book recommendation.
DeleteOur daughter's 7 now, so these are too young for her, but they do bring back many happy memories! Hope your girls enjoyed them. #mg
ReplyDeleteGreat to read that they bring back lovely memories.
DeleteWhy oh why haven't I thought of this before? My husband and I were having a conversation just before Easter about how sick we are of these "candy" traditions. It's Halloween, then Christmas, New year, Valentines now Easter.. It just doesn't seem to stop. And with 4 kids, the amount of candy they get given (and we hoard), is ridiculous. I love this idea and I am definitely going to use it! Thanks for sharing with #globalblogging..
ReplyDeleteI hear you or should that be read you? The only candy we get now is usually brought in by hubby! Pleased to be of inspiration.
DeleteI love your Easter basket, such a lovely collection of things. Mine also got books for Easter this year, though admittedly not on an Easter theme. Definitely something I will get my thinking cap on for next year though after seeing your lovely collection. Thank you for sharing this with us at #PostsFromTheHeart
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am pleased to have inspired you.
DeleteCongrats this was the most popular post this week from #mg Thanks again for linking up lovely xx

DeleteOh Emma is seriously obsessed with Spot the Dog books at the moment. It's so cute seeing her get so excited when Spot finally appears!! Thanks for linking up to #dreamteam xx
ReplyDeleteAwww bless her
DeleteBooks make great gifts. We love all the ones you listed. #kltr
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do. They are great books and of course we had to add Peppa's Easter Egg Hunt too recently.
DeleteLove your Easter basket idea, some lovely choices too. We love Hooray for Hoppy! #readwithme
ReplyDeleteThank you. Oooh will have to check that one out.
DeleteA lovely selection and a few of our favourites in there! My little girl got one of the Spot Easter ones this year :) #KLTR
ReplyDeleteSpot is such a lovely classic
DeleteLovely book ideas! I didn't know there was a Spring version of Guess How Much I Love You, we'll have to check that one out! We just got a board book called 'Snow Rabbit, Spring Rabbit' which is very cute too! x
ReplyDeleteThank you. Oh yes there is one for each season. That sounds like a lovely book.
DeleteWhat a fab Easter basket. I love the Nutbrown hare series and I see some of my favourite books here! I am going to have to look out for the "that's not my bunny" book. I love tactile and touchy feely books. They are fun for little ones. Thanks for linking up to #KLTR .
ReplyDeleteThank you Angela. That's Not My Bunny and the others in the series are great for pointing things out and building that word bank.
DeleteLove this idea for a spring basket- you've inspired me to put one together for my boys this year! #bloggerpinparty
