Adding Books to Easter Baskets

Video Transcript

"Easter was originally a very much, you know, a pagan festival focusing on natural elements; the return of spring, nature animals. That's how bunnies got associated with it in the first place. So, a not always obvious item to have in your Easter basket is something a little more educational or fun. Like a book on nature or something or other. The real world here we're talking about: Animals, fuzzy ones, dangerous ones, various ones. This can make a nice little extra add-on, one that's not intuitive to have in your Easter basket. Now, this is for a child. I recommend having books that have not only text, but a fair number of pictures involved here; bright pictures of the wonderful animals all over the world. This is great! When I was ten years old I got a cool Easter basket which had a book to this day. Actually this might be it! I'm holding it right here! It is a wonderful, excellent literary idea that people don't always think about. Now if you have a small Easter basket, you are going to need a smaller book. They have a variety of small little pocket books from a lot of book stores or department stores that you can also basically find these books at. These are really, really small, lots of little inspirational mottoes; they even have them for children now-a- days on a variety of topics. They are fun, they are little, they are cute and they will fit perfectly into your basket. So make sure and also have like a nice little funny reader option for your little kid or even for yourself this Easter season."
