If the Easter Bunny is looking for a sweet addition to fill baby’s basket, he should get his paws on the new board-book version of “Little Poems for Tiny Ears,” written by Lin Oliver, a 7-inch-square book that is just the right size. Oliver and illustrator Tomie dePaola (“Strega Nona”) have created a collection of playful poetry that celebrates baby’s milestones, like discovering toes for the very first time. A multi-ethnic crowd of charming children are depicted in adorable, softly colored illustrations alongside Oliver’s stanzas that are as fun to read aloud as works by Dr. Seuss. This sturdy book will be a cherished gift for baby’s first Easter.
