One of my all time favorite children's authors is Mercer Mayer. I grew up having his Little Critter books read to me by my mother at bedtime, and they were the first books I learned to read on my own. And, when I found out I was going to be a mom, I made a point to pick up a handful of Little Critter books to share with my daughter while she was in the womb, and then when she arrived. I have continued to read Little Critter books to both of my girls, and love picking up Mercer Mayer books to add to their Easter baskets.
Even though this book came out back in 2000, it was a new book for us, and one my girls and I enjoyed reading together the other day. My girls were not only excited to read the story, but they loved how the book came with stickers, egg holders and a poster to enjoy, as well.
While we still have a few weeks before I pull out all the egg dying kits, the girls are already getting fun ideas for ways to decorate eggs thanks to this book and the different egg styles that fill the pages of this cute Easter-themed book, young children will love reading year after year, as they wait for the Easter Bunny's arrival.
