Easter Books for Kids | 24 Favorites for Every Age

Peter Rabbit has been part of our Easter basket for years. I remember reading this as a kid, and now my son is just as curious about Mr. McGregor’s garden as I was.

The board book version keeps the charm of Beatrix Potter’s original but holds up to toddler use.

This one’s short, sweet, and fun to read aloud. The rhyming text is just the right length for toddlers, and the bright illustrations keep their attention. My son especially loved pointing out the Easter eggs on each page when he was younger.

This interactive book is silly in the best way. We had a lot of giggles reading this one—lifting flaps, finding props, and pretending to be part of the talent show. It’s one we keep on the shelf long after Easter.

A cute Easter twist on a classic rhyme. The rhythm makes it a great read-aloud, and the illustrations are full of friendly animals and soft spring colors. If your toddler loves sing-song books, this one’s a win.

Books with flaps were a huge hit when my son was younger, and this one was a favorite. Each page invites little hands to explore, and the sturdy flaps hold up well. It’s bright, simple, and super engaging for curious toddlers.

We haven’t read this Easter version yet, but the original “Don’t Push the Button!” was a huge favorite when my son was around three.

He couldn’t wait to push the button each time—and I’m pretty sure this Easter twist would have the same effect. It’s interactive, silly, and made for repeat reading.

We originally picked this up as a fun nod to where we used to live, but the whole series is a hit. There are versions for almost every state, which makes it a great keepsake and conversation starter about local traditions. It’s lighthearted and festive, especially for younger kids who love spotting familiar places.

This one balances a sweet Easter storyline with a reminder of what the holiday means. I like how it weaves in faith without being too heavy-handed—perfect for families looking to introduce more meaning alongside the fun stuff.

This one is pure silliness, in the best way. My son loved the idea of eggs escaping the carton—it’s like an Easter version of a jailbreak. There are even stickers inside, which made it a hit on car rides after we read it at home. This is one of the best Easter books for preschoolers.

A classic we come back to each spring. P.J. Funnybunny’s quest to find where he belongs is both silly and oddly relatable for kids. The pacing is great for read-aloud time, and the ending always gets a smile.

Yep—it’s as ridiculous as it sounds, and kids absolutely lose it over this one. Personally, it’s not my favorite, but it’s become a family joke. If you have a kid who loves toilet humor, this book will be requested on repeat.

This one surprised us. The cat’s deadpan expressions and the narrator’s back-and-forth with him make it feel like a picture book version of a stand-up act. Bonus: it sneaks in a sweet lesson about appreciating others.

This version of the classic rhyme has been in our rotation for years. It’s fast, silly, and catchy—perfect for kids who love rhythm and repetition. Great to read right before or after your own egg hunt.

One of the most beautifully illustrated books we own. Jan Brett’s style makes each page feel like a mini art gallery, and the story has a lovely message about kindness and effort. We save this one for a quiet moment when we can really take our time with it.

If your kids already know Pete, they’ll love this Easter version. It’s got the usual fun, music-inspired rhythm, and a sweet storyline about helping out. We’ve even added a song to go along with it at our house.

This one’s a favorite for getting creative—after reading it, my son wanted to build his own bunny trap in the living room. The illustrations are super energetic, and the story encourages kids to think outside the box.

Clayton and Desmond are two mice with a big goal—and a few disagreements along the way. We like how this story gently introduces teamwork and problem-solving, with an Easter twist. A great pick for siblings to read together.

A sweet origin story that makes the idea of the Easter Bunny feel almost magical. I especially like the generational piece—how the tradition is passed down. It’s simple, heartwarming, and just right for ages 3 to 7.

This one is pure fantasy fun. It reimagines the Easter Bunny as a warrior battling evil alongside Santa and other mythical guardians. My son was all in from the first page—if your child enjoys big, imaginative worlds and fast-paced action, this book is a great choice.

This one’s a hit for fairy lovers. Emma’s lost magical eggs have to be found before Easter is ruined, and the story moves quickly with just enough sparkle to keep early chapter book readers hooked. If your child is into all things magical, this is a fun seasonal pick.

Total chaos, as expected from this series! The kids at Ella Mentry School are trying to put on an Easter play—but of course, nothing goes smoothly. My son laughed all the way through this one, and it’s a great choice for reluctant readers who enjoy humor and shorter chapters.

Geronimo Stilton never disappoints, and this Easter-themed adventure is packed with his usual mix of bold fonts, colorful illustrations, and over-the-top fun. The story takes readers on a treasure hunt to Easter Island, making it a good fit for kids who love maps, mysteries, and quirky characters.

Though not strictly an Easter book, Marshmallow’s gentle tone and bunny protagonist make it a lovely seasonal read. The story of a rabbit adjusting to a new home—with a curious kitten as his companion—is touching and sweet. It’s a calm, comforting read with beautiful illustrations to match.

This one is best read as a family. Set in biblical times, Amon’s journey invites kids into the Easter story in a way that feels both personal and powerful. It includes discussion questions at the end of each chapter, so we read it aloud together during Holy Week. It’s a slower read, but one with real depth and meaning.
