readsalot: I have lost count of how many copies of this book I’ve bought through the years for grand babies in their first year. Tomi de Paoli can’t be beat for his simple colorful illustrations and text.

DezireeDeziree: Adorable book! Cute and classic looking illustrations. I don't love Easter books that mention candy and while this one does make reference to what we assume is candy it doesn't specifically call it candy. It shows an image of what I'm assuming are chocolate bunnies and candy eggs in a basket (see image), it could easily be explained to a child as stuffed toy bunnies and regular eggs to eat. The book also talks about coloring eggs and wearing your nice Easter clothes. Overall, adorable and I recommend for every first Easter basket!

James Michael: Tomie's art work is great for little ones as the lines are bold, the colors simple and the images clear. The pages are focused with no overcrowding. Perfect for toddlers. Yes, Tomie dePaulo's board books in this wonderful series are too large for little hands to hold but great for adults to read to them. And should the little ones pull at the book, the pages are strong cardboard and will not rip. I have purchased this and many in this series (My First Easter, My First Christmas, My First Book of Carols, My First Mother Goose, My First Book of Rhymes, etc.) for my nephews and nieces from ages 1 to 5. Good for first readers, too! Wonderful!

くまんま: 幼児向け英語プレイグループで使いました。
復活祭にすること、卵を色づけしたり、探したり、大まかな文化的なことが、やさしい英語で書いてあり、3歳前後の子供たちにはちょうど良かったと思います。卵の上がエンボスというか、でこぼこしていて、「さわってごらん」「見つけてごらん」と言うと、子供たちは競って本の周りに（軽くケンカが起きるくらい）。
もう少し大きくなったら、宗教的な意味を知るのも楽しいかもしれませんが、幼児にはちょうどいい内容だと思います。また、絵も優しい色合いで可愛かったです。

あかに: 英会話教室で使うために購入。幼稚園児に読み聞かせるにはちょうど良い簡単さ。小学校高学年にもなれば自分ですらすら読んで理解できる内容。My First Halloweenが良かったのでこちらも迷わず購入。カラフルな卵がさわって遊べるようにもなっているのが良かった。

Healthy By Nature: This is a sturdy, durable board book that contains simple yet lovely illustrations of seasonal novelties such as baby animals born in Spring, Easter lilies and bonnets, the Easter Bunny bringing baskets, and the whole family coloring eggs together and participating in an Easter egg hunt on the farm. It takes a quiet, simple, secular approach to presenting Easter and Spring concepts, and, therefore, it is perfectly appropriate for any young child. The emphasis of this book is more on illustration than on text or storyline which is fine because it elicits conversation and the opportunity to teach an infant/toddler about the images depicted. My son just had his second Easter and he still enjoys the illustrations -- specifically finding and pointing out all the eggs and bunnies throughout the book. The only complaint I have is that I wish this book was longer! It positively oozes old-fashioned charm and is sure to please both children and parents alike.
