For Kids, Books Make Great Easter Surprises
Special to TheTruth
The best way to treat kids
this Easter may not be with the typical sweets. While candy
is predictable, you can really make a child’s day with a
different approach.
“This Easter, think
books,” says Jaimie Cona, sssociate director of Marketing at
DK, a publisher of adult and children’s books. “Fill baskets
to the brim with books, and consider including them in your
egg hunt.”
Here are some titles that
are fun enough to be a sugar substitute:
• Super Heroes: Discover a
thrilling, action-packed world with “LEGO DC Comics Super
Heroes: Amazing Battles!,” which features the bravest of
heroes as they foil yet another evil villain’s scheme.
Dynamic images and scenes will appeal to reluctant readers.
Super hero fans may also
love “Ultimate Factivity Collection: Marvel Avengers,” which
combines facts about the Earth’s mightiest super heroes –
the Avengers – with fun activities and interesting puzzles.
• Pop-Out Surprises:
Using flaps, touch-and-feel textures and pop-out surprises,
“Pop-Up Peekaboo Farm,” introduces young minds to sheepdogs,
tractors, cows, horses and more.
• Creepy Crawlies:
“Eyewitness Explorer: Bug Hunter” includes more than 30
hands-on learning activities and step-by-step project
instructions. Enter the kingdom of creepy crawlies and learn
everything there is to know about beetles, bees, spiders and
more. Experiments that can be done at home include raising a
caterpillar.
• Little Chefs: Encourage
your budding chef’s aspirations with creative recipes that
are safe for children. The “Mommy & Me Bake” cookbook is
designed to offer parents and children the opportunity to
work together as a team while teaching basic baking skills.
From simple kneading and mixing to creating whimsical and
tasty treats, the book empowers kids to experiment in the
kitchen.
• “Frozen”: For fans of
the mega hit film, fill up Easter baskets with a great crop
of new picks, including “Frozen: The Essential Guide,” a
fact-filled reference book about the characters, locations
and themes of Disney's beloved princess tale. A sing-along
companion, “Frozen: The Essential Collection,” features
lyrics to the famous songs, as well as a full-color sticker
book. “Ultimate Factivity Collection: Disney Frozen,” a

• Bedtime: There’s always
time for a little play before bedtime. Capture the attention
of infants with “Baby Touch & Feel Animals,” which features
blankets, stars, sleepy stuffed animals and a range of
novelty textures.

the world have fallen in love with Sophie, the popular
giraffe teether toy from France. In the “Sophie la girafe”
