Easter Elf

by Rochelle Ann Groskreutz, Leah DiPasquale (Illustrations)

Hop to it with Easter Elf! In this delightful picture book, young readers learn that there are elves for more than just one holiday, and that friends make any celebration more fun – even when there’s a little competition involved. Easter They're EGGceptional at basket weaving, grass shredding, and hopping. They can paint, decorate, and hide eggs in no time. They dress in pastels and never leave the workshop without their bunny ears. Christmas They’re TINSEL-riffic at, well, everything. They dress in greens and reds and never leave the workshop without a jingle bell. SO, what happens when Christmas Elf makes a surprise crash landing at Easter Elf Spring Training? She hops higher, weaves better baskets, and shreds significantly more grass than Easter Elf, who can’t help but feel a little elf-doubt. Will Easter Elf finally get a moment in the spotlight, and even better, the opportunity to help a friend? Brought to life through luminous, high-energy illustrations, Easter Elf is sure to become a holiday (mash-up) favorite and Easter basket stuffer to the delight of young readers (and Easter Elves!) everywhere.

This colorful, imaginative twist on traditional Easter Bunny tales will be welcomed by kids and their parents. The speech-bubble text and colorful illustrations make the story pop off the page and land right in the eager laps and lives of young readers. Expect to hear "Read it again!".
A great gift book and annual favorite.

This is such a unique and fun picture book that I’m telling everyone they need to order one for the young readers in their lives. If the name Easter Elf, doesn’t make you look twice, the colorful and playful cover will have you pulling it off the shelf for a closer look. And then you’ll be hooked, because it just gets better from there. After all, you’re going to want to know all about this elf who doesn’t live at the North Pole and does Easter-ish things. When a Christmas Elf crashes into the picture, the situation becomes a little interesting for Easter Elf, but I won’t give it away. You’ll just have to read for yourself how it all turns out! It’s a well-written, perfectly illustrated, and charmingly unique story that parents and kids will adore together.

An Easter Elf? What's that? Well, it's like a Christmas Elf, except an Easter Elf helps the Easter Bunny instead of Santa Claus. Join an Easter Elf and a Christmas Elf as they 'compete' in activities like Egg Hiding and Easter Grass Shredding!

I read this book for the first time this past April - it was so funny! I loved the idea of an Easter Elf! So creative! These illustrations are so cute!

There are not many Easter books out there. To have a fun one that does not talk about a bunny seems like a win to me. Definitely worth a checkout next Easter.
