Where's Lisa! Corduroy prepares for Easter all by himself, watering plants, making Easter baskets, and dyeing eggs. Illustrations are bright and cute.

In this gentle, colorful story, the beloved teddy bear shops for sweets, colors eggs, and shares an Easter picnic with his pals.

Humane-minded families will appreciate that when Corduroy visits a farm to collect some eggs, he meets some baby animals--but he does not bring home any. Thankfully, the live-animals-as-Easter-gifts trend seems to be waning.

This is a simple and cute little cardboard copy of Corduroy celebrating Easter. It talks about dying eggs, showing off Easter baskets, jelly beans and chocolate, and egg hunt, and a picnic with friends. This is a great non-religious book to read about Easter.

This is a simple but not 'basic' board book for young readers (or in my case a 3 year old listener) My granddaughter loved looking at the illustrations in this book where Corduroy gets ready for Easter and is always thoughtful of his friends.

Cute Easter board book.

Lacking in story arc, but a cute seasonal book.
