I’m really enjoying the Crowell Holiday Book series! They really did a great job with the narration, the interesting facts they include and making sure the pages are covered in illustrations.

A great little book on the history and customs behind Easter. A detailed story of who Jesus is and what happened to Him during Easter week is included.

**Like my reviews? Then you should follow me! Because I have hundreds more just like this one. With each review, I provide a Cleanliness Report, mentioning any objectionable content I come across so that parents and/or conscientious readers (like me) can determine beforehand whether they want to read a book or not. Content surprises are super annoying, especially when you’re 100+ pages in, so here’s my attempt to help you avoid that!
