Being in the public library biz, I'm always on the look-out for Easter books that aren't too heavily religious---celebrating the bunny and easter egg aspect of the season and therefore easily shared with a storytime audience of all faiths. This book is a winner---simply a counting book set at an Easter egg hunt. Use of bright pastels and Easter outfits adds to the festive joy of this title. Children will enjoy finding the eggs as the children are on the hunt. Highly enjoyable and with its simplicity this book may be a success with toddler through early elementary-aged audience.

Can the kids find the 10 hidden Easter eggs in time for the Easter parade? Cute rhyming text with pastel pictures makes this a great holiday and counting book.Kids would enjoy finding the eggs on each page. Didn't like the illustrations as I think the kids' teeth make them look scary. The book is also great because it is very neutral and doesn't have any religious references.

Cute seasonal story that includes counting, colors, and design.

This is a great, quick title and is perfect for a read aloud to a special education class that comes to my library. Quick, holds their attention, and then it is done.

Do not love. There are more eggs on the page than the one your are looking for - Stella found this really confusing. Also, the kids look creepy.

10 Easter Egg Hunters: A Holiday Counting Book (2011). Written by Janet Schulman. Illustrated by Linda Davick. This book is part of a counting book series that focuses on seasonal events such as Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine's Day. This particular counting book tells the story of a group of children searching for festive Easter eggs before the big Easter parade begins. Reminiscent of the I-Spy and Where's Waldo series of books, young readers take part in the children’s search for the delightfully colored Easter eggs. This book uses light, rhyming language to express the joys of spending Easter day looking for eggs with friends. The artwork is simple but conveys the message of "Easter" through the use of pastel colors. While 10 Easter Egg Hunters is a rather simple book, the seasonal setting makes for a very fun and festive read. Target audience: ages 3-5.

I think kid's will enjoy counting, finding the eggs, and anticipating the action. I was unimpressed though. This may be nit-picky, but I can't stand the children's round unlidded eyeballs. They almost resemble South Park characters.

This is my 1-1/2 year old's favorite book right now. We read it every night. EVERY night. She likes to look for the eggs, too, and there's a cat hiding on every page. I might think the children's big toothy grins are a little creepy, but she loves it, so who am I to argue? ^_^

Fairly typical counting book with an Easter theme. Nothing too special, but our girls liked finding the eggs on each page. The illustrations are very colorful.

We love this series of holiday counting books. We liked the Easter book, it was fun to find all of the hidden eggs and count them as we found them.

[Elle · Rating 3 out of 5]

A perfect holiday counting book. As children locate 10 different eggs they are counted and displayed on the side of each page.

Aloysius? Really? This is why I read the books before I read them to the kids, because this name threw me for a loop after reading names like Tom and Annie.....

Good non-religious Easter book focusing on finding eggs.

[Peacegal · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is a very simple book about counting Easter eggs. No story here.

Not quite as fun as 10 Trick or Treaters but this one was cute too.
