The Mommy Island: This Easter Calls For Baskets Of Books

I received the products mentioned below in exchange for this post. Sponsor is responsible for prize fulfillment.

Are you hopping past the candy aisle this Easter to fill your child's basket? We like to give books each year and we usually pick a needed item like summer pajamas or new socks. My kids ALWAYS need socks. Keeping it simple I like to get things that won't end up in the trash minutes after they open it. After all, they enjoy the excitement of hunting for eggs and visiting with cousins so I want them to have something that will last once the special day comes to an end. Books are such a great choice for filing their baskets and National Geographic Kids has so many titles that work perfectly for Easter and Spring reading!

Somebunny Loves Me by Parry Gripp.

Parry is an Emmy-winning singer-songwriter whose quirky, popular tunes, including “Nom, nom, nom” and “It’s Raining Tacos” have made his YouTube channel a smash hit with nearly 140 million views. He is an avid animal lover and his bunny Bruno is often the inspiration behind so many of his songs. In Somebunny Loves Me, Parry’s sweet and silly rhymes are cleverly written to share how children can best understand, appreciate and interact with a variety of fuzzy, feathered or scaly pals. Paired with adorable, full-page photographs, Parry also includes a personal note in the back of the book giving kids and their parents more tips on how to be good pet owners — from how to keep pets safe, clean and healthy to how to best interact with them and even pointers on on how to make a pet music video.
