Easter Book List!

What are your family Easter traditions? One of mine is reading kid literature about Easter with my kids & giving each of them a new book. (Pictured above are the books each kid will get this year!) We also love to do an Easter egg hunt (probably a modified, social distancing one this year) & an Easter egg advent (opening an egg & looking at a symbol from Christ's life & reading the accompanying scriptures in the week before Easter.)
This post will include both a picture book list for children (16 favorites) &  a list of baby board books (6 favorites.) I hope your Easter can be a restful & healing time for you & your family this year. I always love traditions surrounding Easter, but especially when they're centered on Christ & new life. Many of these books will be fun ones for kids, but I will also share a few of my favorite Christ-centered Easter books too. 
And I should go ahead & mention that I will have a spring book list coming out (separately) in a couple of weeks. Hoppy reading everybody!  ​

I have a son who thinks construction vehicles are pretty awesome. To make this post even more authentic, I will post a picture of him on a stray excavator we found by the side of the road two weeks ago. :) 
Of all the construction vehicles, excavators are definitely his favorite (and he will correct you if you call it a "digger.") He also loves to sing along to Blippi's "Excavator" & "Tractor" songs.
Without further ado, here are our top 12 favorite picture books! 


1. Dig, Dogs, Dig! A Construction Tail
by: James Horvath
www.amazon.com/Dig-Dogs-Construction-Tail/dp/0062189646/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=work+dogs+work&qid=1584038520&sr=8-3
The rhyming about construction work in this book will have you hooked on the construction project these hardworking dogs are completing. 

2. Backhoe Joe!
by: Lori Alexander
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to find a stray backhoe in the road & take it home as a pet? This is an adorable, feel-good story about the cutest little boy with that ambition. 

https://www.amazon.com/Backhoe-Joe-Lori-Alexander/dp/0062250159/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=backhoe+joe&qid=1584039625&sr=8-1
3. Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site
by: Sherri Duskey Rinky   
Even construction vehicles need a good night's sleep! This one is pretty cute with the sound bar too.
