Ideal Picture Book

This book is a true example of a picture book. The pictures are the main element on the page—bright and colorful. There are few words on each page. It is beautiful. It tells a delightful story and would make a great daddy-daughter read-aloud. I’d recommend first explaining the historical aspect of the Easter Parade, which I have assumed is when the town walked in their Easter finest to church.

Darling book.

Cute book. Animals acting out Irving Berlin's lyrics to Easter Parade. Kids love it. My students imagine that it is a daddy and daughter bunny at the parade.

Wonderful Easter Book

The illustrations in this cute Easter book depict a father rabbit ready to escort his daughter down the avenue (5th Avenue) in her new Easter Bonnet. Besides the darling pictures set to Irving Berlin's lovely lyrics, this book adds guitar and piano music at the end. This was especially helpful to me as I had forgotten some parts of the tune. What a great way to introduce children to a great song by a great composer. Would be a fantastic addition to an Easter basket. I would highly recommend this book.
