The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams (all ages) - While this one doesn't technically take place during Easter, every child should have a copy of The Velveteen Rabbit, right?

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl (6-10 years) - I couldn't resist including this book in a collection of books about Easter.

Will Charlie survive his trip to the Chocolate Factory and his adventure with Willy Wonka?!
Beatrix Potter Collection by Beatrix Potter (all ages) - While it may seem strange to include this collection in a round-up of chapter books, I almost think of each of these books as a chapter in a larger book.

Perfect springtime and Easter books for kids of all ages to enjoy.
Mr. and Mrs. Bunny: Detectives Extraordinaire by Polly Horvath (9-12 years) - You know, bunnies can have other jobs than simply being the Easter Bunny - they can be detectives.

Heidi Hecklebeck and the Tie-Dyed Bunny by Wanda Coven (5 years+) - Heidi always seems to mix things up, doesn't she?

Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew - Chick-Napped by Carolyn Keene (8-10 years) - My kids love Nancy Drew and the Clue Crew books. It is springtime and Nancy's class is hatching little chicks...how fun is that? Well, while most of her classmates are excited Catherine Spangle is less than thrilled that the chicks will arrive and take attention away from her birthday!
