I bought this because I wanted a simple way of explaining the Easter story to my little girl. And this book does it well with some lovely illustrations along the way

I got this for my son for Easter and it's pretty good. The story is abit long for little ones but the pictures are nice and it very gently outlines the Easter story. It doesn't really mention the crucifixion or why Jesus died but I think it's ok, as this is mainly an introductory book for young children it doesn't need to be too heavy. Would recommend.

Such a wonderful story. Sent as a gift for 2yo. Read to other age kids upto 10 yo, & thoroughly enjoyed. The sentiment is Jesus died because he loves us. It's good to give little ones some meaning to Easter that they can identify with. If you are looking for the Easter story, this isn't the book for you. But I do recommend it.

What a beautifully written book about the Easter story! We bought for our baby's first Easter but can see this being read year after year. Would be a great buy for all ages 0-10+... Would definitely recommend!

I'm a Christian grandmother. Bought it for my granddaugher who is 7. I felt it was a little too "harsh" and "violent." The message is right, but too, too much "rawness" in the begging of the book. Sending back if Amazon will take it.

"Me too," Papa Bear said. "It's even better than Christmas."
"Better than Christmas? Why?"
"Because on Christmas, we celebrate Jesus' birthday. But on Easter, we remember we get to be with him forever."
"Forever?"
"Forever. That's why God gave us Easter."
