Pick up this springtime counting book

This is a perfect gift for your 'Easter Baby'

By Kristen SchottPublished: March, 2010

Easter is coming up quick, and if you're still working on your child's gift basket (and perhaps if you're looking for something healthier than Peeps and giant milk-chocolate bunnies), then you should pick up this springtime counting tale.

"Easter Babies" is a soft, sweetly illustrated story that teaches children to count from one to 12 with cuddly animals such as a newborn foal, lambs and chicks. Plus, the tale offers creative sentences for young ones learning how to use their words: "In grassy meadows seven lambs frolic on frisky feet."

Perhaps a good Easter-morning activity would be to go out into the backyard with your child or take a walk and try to identify and count the critters you see.

I hope you stop by your local bookstore to pick up this treat – and maybe a few Easter treats, too.
