Great Summary of the Real Meaning of Easter, But For Younger Kids

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

I teach second grade at a Lutheran school and I got this book so I could use it as part of my lesson about Easter, but now that my daughter is 3, I plan on reading it with her this upcoming Easter so that I can explain what Easter is really about, not just the Easter bunny, chocolates, and Easter baskets. I love that the author keeps the text short on each page and quickly summarizes the Easter story in a way that is understandable to children and is suitable for their attention spans. It touches on some miracles Jesus did, how he chose his disciples, that some people didn't want to hear about God, the events of Palm Sunday, the Last Supper, Jesus' arrest, and crucifixion. I like that it states Jesus was sent to die, but doesn't get into gory detail that would be frightening to children or graphic. It explains how Jesus rose on the third day and that who believes in Him has eternal life. Understand that it's a quick summary and is more intended for children 3-7 years old, so older children would probably like more detail than what is given here.

The illustrations are beautifully done in what looks like watercolor and have a lot of details in them. I highly recommend this book for parents to explain the real meaning of Easter in a summarized, kid friendly way to young children!

Great book for young children!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2021

Verified Purchase

The book arrived on time and in great condition. It is well written and appropriate for young children and the illustrations are very well done. The only issue I have with the content is that they skip over the fact that Mary was the first to see Jesus and to know he had risen. He chose her first! I think including this fact would be great for young girls to read. Other than that, it is a great book!

Perfect Introduction to the Easter Story for Toddlers

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 4, 2016

Verified Purchase

I wanted an Easter story to read to my 18 month old son that wasn't overly complicated or frightening, and this book fits the bill. It's got very pretty, colorful illustrations and sturdy board book pages, so there is no worry about his ripping or damaging it. The story is simple, as it should be for such a young child, and when discussing the crucifixion you just see three crosses in shadow in the background. It was a great way to introduce the Easter story to my son in words he kind of understands and to at least make him realize there is more to Easter than just egg hunts and the Easter bunny. This has been put away on his book shelf for now, but I'm looking forward to bring it back out around Easter of 2017, when he'll be about 2.5 and able to understand a bit more of the story.

Simple story, good for young children

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

I ordered this book prior to Easter to read to my 21 month old son. While he doesn't understand the complex concepts yet, he does like the book and wants me to read it to him over and over again. I'm glad to be able to introduce this topic to him at a young age and my hope is that as he gets older he will begin to understand what the story is about. The ideal age for this book is probably a bit older because it's not as engaging as most books geared towards young toddlers are. My son loves books and will sit and listen to almost any story, but I don't recommend it if you have a young toddler with a short attention span. I do think the author does a great job of explaining a very complex story in simple words so a young child can understand.

Great book!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

We're very particular about our child's spiritual education. This book is excellent to teach preschoolers a straightforward synopsis of the Bible's Easter story and its significance. It's written on a child's level, but doesn't get caught up in cutesy stuff that would detract from the gravity of the story. It even includes scenes not usually covered in children's books, like Palm Sunday, washing the disciples' feet, praying in the garden, and appearing to the disciples after resurrection. I love that it 1. teaches who Jesus is and what he did, 2. pairs nicely with sermons/lessons leading up to and after Easter, 3. doesn't shy away from talk of death, but isn't scary, 4. devotes several pages to the resurrection and new life (that is the point, after all).
I'll be looking for more from this publisher. I'd love suggestions for similar books.

Good, but not perfect

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

I like everything about the presentation of the Easter story except for the end. It says Jesus died so we "will" all go to Heaven instead of we "can" all go to Heaven. It glosses over the need to accept Jesus as your Savior. But it is the best Easter book for toddlers that I've found so far, and it is so much better than making Easter all about bunnies, ducks, and eggs.

Oster-Gesichte auf Englisch

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on April 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a short Children's book about the Easter story that is non-graphic / non-violent and suitable for even the littlest of readers.
The pictures are absolutely beautiful and each page only has a couple sentences. So even 2-year old's can enjoy this book without getting bored.

This book is written with Simple-English and could easily be read by children who are learning English or parents with bilingual backgrounds.

Eine sehr schöne Oster-Gesichte mit einfachem Englisch für kleine Kinder.
