The story is fun and easy to follow, the illustrations are bright and engaging, and it kept their attention from start to finish. A perfect read for bedtime or anytime learning and imagination. Highly recommend for kids Review: Great Summary of the Real Meaning of Easter, But For Younger Kids - 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!

Best one on Amazon!
Bought about 4 different Easter children’s books to decide which one I want to use for our Easter party, and this was by far the best one! Tells the story without leaving out the important things (Jesus died for us, and He is alive), photos are great, and sentences are short and sweet. We have nieces and nephews ages 4-10 and this is perfect for each of their stages.

Perfect for toddlers and young children
This is a perfect story for toddlers and young children. I was curious what the crucifixion portion would look like, and it is portrayed very tastefully for the age group. The 2 photos attached are the only ones that speak of it and there is nothing in between. This will be a great gift for Easter!

Such a beautiful book in illustration and written content!
This book is just beautiful. Easter is my favorite day of the year. This book illustrates and writes the most beautiful stories. My grandchildren enjoy listening to stories from this book every year. It's a beautiful addition to a child's library that is sure to create memories.

Perfect for little ones
This is a great Easter story book for little ones. It explains the true meaning of Easter so well. It doesn't skip over anything, but it's also age appropriate for kids. The art in it is beautiful too.

Good, but not perfect
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.

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.
