Books and Gifts for Easter and Passover!
Our Basket O' Bunnies is looking over a table of Easter gifts and goodies, including three adorable new books.
We're Going On an Egg Hunt
Laura Hughes
Help the bunny family find their eggs by lifting the flaps in this picture book! Charming illustrations and text based on 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt'.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar's Easter Colors
Eric Carle
Join the caterpillar and his friends as they discover the colors of Easter in this bright board book.
Egg
Kevin Henkes
Our cuddly new Jellycat toy (what kind of a bird is that anyway?) is showing off Kevin Henkes' brand new book
Egg, a graphic novel for preschoolers. Three colorful eggs hatch into baby birds, but nothing happens to the fourth egg. Will the green egg ever hatch? And what could be in it? A wonderful book that will enchant preschoolers and early readers by telling the story in a blend of short text, wordless pictures and graphic panels.
Passover Scavenger Hunt
Shanna Silva
Fed up with the obvious hiding places for the afikomen, the youngest girl in a family sets up a challenging Seder scavenger hunt.
Or, how about celebrating with a fun family game?
Playing Dancing Eggs guarantees a get-together packed with hilarious action as you compete to collect eggs and points. Don't let your egg drop, whatever you're told to do! Can you hold it under your arm, behind your knee or run around the table, calling out cock-a-doodle do?! Suitable for ages five and up, this is a fun way for the family to play together.

Sale in the Teacher Section!
We know teachers' budgets are often tight, so we're delighted to introduce a brand-new Sale section, just for you.
We'll be refreshing the section regularly, but look out for books, both for classroom activities and continuing education, games and workbooks for your students, posters, folders and more!
Find out more about what we do for schools and teachers
