Enjoy One of These Egg-cellent Easter-Themed Books

I’m sure you’re as ready for warmth and sunshine as I am. These books will fill your story time with spring colors and flowers and a lot of soft, furry animals. Chin up, friends, warmer weather and budding flowers are just around the corner! Happy Easter!
