5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, ACURATE, Kid-Friendly Book!
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2013

I bought this for my 15-month-old daughter and it was perfect. She loves the pictures and I love the words! I'm a music teacher so I greatly appreciate the amount of thought put into the rhyme and meter of the book. It's very rhythmically enticing and rolls off the tongue much like nursery-rhymes do. It keeps her attention well.

It's also very Biblically accurate. I've bought other books for my niece and nephew that leave me thinking, "that is NOT how the Bible goes!" (I'm assuming for the sake of not freaking out kids by watering it down) and then I have to give a disclaimer, but this one is spot on. It does tell the story of how Jesus died, but it's a very positive account that I'm sure won't scare my daughter when she's a little older and understands more.

It's also very sturdy. My daughter is somewhat rough with books, but it's a quality board-book that held up to her little teeth and her love of eating books!

I just ordered Thomas Nelson's "Bible for Toddlers" and I'm hoping that it will be just as good quality as this book was. I love this one so much that I'm sure his actual Bible will be wonderful. I most definitely suggest this book for anyone who wants to share the story of Easter with their little one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute, Accurate, Rhyming Easter Story
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2020

I wanted an Easter story that told the reality of Jesus’s time on Earth during the first Easter and was told on my kids level - not a story of pastel colored eggs, candy, and an oversized but sweet Easter bunny. I’m fine with all the latter of those things as long as my kids know who and what we are truly celebrating. This book delivers!

It’s a perfect book for ages 2 (and younger) - 5. The illustrations are cute and the rhyming helps keep the cadence of the story. The hardcover ensures it will have a long life and the side handle helps the littles carry it around easily.

Super cute, well written. Friendly images. This is the true story of Jesus, which gives the opportunity for us to introduce the truth of Jesus life and death to our children. I really appreciate this friendly story book for that exact reason. Yes you see Jesus on a cross in the images. But it is not disturbing. It is our job as Christians and parents to make the story of Jesus and the Bible in general clear and understandable for our children. I do not believe in sugar coating death and resurrection. This is a soft enough approach, and will help you and your children grow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2015

Perfect Easter book for the grandkids 2-4 years old. It handles the Biblical account with clarity but carefully so as not to frighten a child with the crucifixion, but to explain the true meaning. The resurrection page is sweet, but I wish the illustrator had put Jesus in a white robe to symbolize his new transformation, instead of the same robe he wore on the cross. The closing words are "And all this was God's plan that Jesus had to die to pay the price for sin, for all our wrongs and lies. And so, because of Jesus, when our lives are through, we can live in heaven if we trust and love him too." It finishes with a good opportunity for a parent or grandparent also to explain that God lives within our hearts on earth as well when we accept his gift of salvation.

This is a biblically correct book which is what I was wanting. My grandson likes to carry it around by the little handle on the spine more than he likes reading it right now because it doesn't have the sounds and the verbal cadence he's interested in at the moment. I like it! I've been reading it to him when it's sleepy time and he's winding down and a little more accepting of it then. We usually play a game of "can you find" with the butterfly, dog, bird, sheep etc,... trying to help him engage. The colors are vibrant and the story rhymes nicely, it's a nice sturdy book and it was a perfect addition to his Easter basket. I'm hoping he grows into it and likes it better as we continue reading. Maybe it needs to be a touch/feel or a pop-up book or something, idk, something more interesting for a toddler.

Very good and simple illustration of the crucifixtion and resurrection of Jesus. It portrays the death of Jesus, on the cross, without being too dark and not at all gory. I’ve included pictures of a few of the pages. Bought for my 2 year old who seems to enjoy it, although he may not fully understand yet. Definitely recommend to all Christian families with toddlers and young children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for toddlers!

I struggle often to find age-appropriate books for my year old children that I teach at a christian daycare. Sometimes the books have great value but are not meant for younger kids in their length or what they say or their words. This was the perfect length and the rhyme made it easy for the kids to sit and listen to. I love that the book is about Easter and doesn't focus as much on the death which is a concept I was worried about sharing with them since I am only their teacher- and I want that to be a parent conversation when needed. The kids were able to understand the gist of the story and we've read about jesus before so they liked that it included him of course. Definitely short enough to get them to sit for only a few minutes, but long enough to share the story's important parts. Definitely something I'll keep myself for my own kids when they get to this age.
