The Best Easter Books for Kids

By the Bookroo Editors
Updated July 27, 2026

Easter arrives carrying two very different baskets. One holds painted eggs, chocolate, rabbits with impossible delivery routes, and the annual discovery that a hard-boiled egg can remain hidden much longer than anyone intended. The other holds the central story of Christian faith: Holy Week, the crucifixion, and the resurrection. Children’s books are at their best when they let each tradition keep its meaning—and when they understand that many families make room for both before lunch.

Bookroo’s collection of 360 Easter books includes first egg hunts for toddlers, comic Easter Bunny complications, pysanky and other family traditions, and thoughtful retellings of the Christian story. Start with our fixed shortlist of 12 favorites, arranged from sturdy board books through longer read-alouds, then browse the age shelves or use the topic links to follow the part of Easter your family or classroom came to find.
