5.0 out of 5 stars Just enough words for a toddler to remember, March 26, 2000

This review is from: The Story of Easter (Board book)

I was so impressed with the Christmas version of this book, given to me as a gift, that I am now purchasing the entire collection of holiday stories (Valentines, Easter, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving). This book is just perfect for toddlers. First, its a board book style, built for many readings and little fingers...next the story is both meaningful and easily stated, just enough words for a toddler to remember. The books explain religious stories and how they are celebrated. I liked relating this with my children, who are at the age where they soak in new experiences from everything around them.

This review is from: The Story of Easter (Board book)

This is prefect for explaining Easter to my 3 year old. Not over detailed but just enough. We have the Christmas one too and love it also.

This review is from: Story of Easter (Hardcover)

As other reviewers said, this book is an excellent way to explain the Easter story to a 3 year old. I agree with another reviewer that the last page isn't really something that a young child can understand but in time and after hearing that each year they will grow to understand what it means. We used this book in our church for a children's sermon and the pastor used it for our Mother's Day Out program when she had a talk with the children about Easter. I will probably be purchasing another copy to give as a gift to my godson.
