Three very different Easter-oriented books for three different age levels — but they all have one thing in common: They definitely guarantee a rollicking good time.

“Easter is Coming” (Little Simon, $6.99) is a board book supreme. Written in clear concise verse by Marion Dane Bauer and splendidly illustrated by Jayoung Cho, this little square volume features peek-a-boo, water and novelty figure scenes that surely will bring delighted squeals. By manipulating the plastic-covered water-bubble pictures, small children (over 3 years) get a feel for tactile play and will have a frenzy of fun as they push around the glitter and animal figures floating in the water.

The tiny poems are fine, but it is the humor, color and unusualness of the pictures that make “Easter is Coming” a real winner. It’s a great way to grasp a simple story line and, more importantly, have the best “reading” session imaginable.

Linda Sue Parks’ “What Does Bunny See?” does not mention Easter explicitly, but its appealing rhymes and glorious floral illustrations by Maggie Smith make it ideal for the season (for children up to age 7).

In “What Does Bunny See?” (Clarion Books, $15), a tiny inquisitive rabbit dives head-on into a variety of garden blossoms, from scarlet poppies to orange-freckled tiger lilies to radiant yellow primroses. Children will learn color and flower names while sharing in Bunny’s capers.

For early readers, “Minnie and Moo: The Attack of the Easter Bunnies” by Denys Cazet is, surprisingly, warm and zany at the same time. The two cows who search desperately for a way to give Mr. Farmer’s grandchildren a special Easter are goofy enough to give an early-grader the giggles, but the positive message woven throughout will make kids (and adults) feel good, too.

This paperback (HarperTrophy, $3.99) is filled with laughable illustrations, and the plot will keep kids wondering and turning the pages eagerly. As an exploration of barnyard animals and their behavior, the story is creative enough to spark thought as it evokes chuckles. And it’s pretty hard not to fall for a couple of turkeys and a piglet who decide to give up their identities to help out.

So this season, take time to check out another gift option besides toys and chocolate eggs. Or, if you’re really generous, try them all in tandem. Books fit remarkably well in Easter baskets.
