Carol Heyer follows up her very successful first Easter title, The Easter Story, with another beautiful picture book that captures the true meaning of Easter for a young child.
**Like my reviews? I also have hundreds of detailed reports that I offer too. These reports give a complete break-down of everything in the book, so you'll know just how clean it is or isn't. I also have Clean Guides (downloadable PDFs) which enable you to clean up your book before reading it! Visit my website: The Book Radar.
Ages 4-9? Try telling that to my class of 6 & 7 year olds that couldn’t sit through the full paragraphs on each page, of writing obviously not geared towards children. The pictures were interesting and detailed enough, though, that I could make up my own words as I went.
Virtually the same text as The Easter Story by Carol Heyer, but with different, larger, slightly updated illustrations. While it is quite a bit of text, I'm possibly going to use this for our 5 yr old class.
This book is the story of Jesus and how we got to celebrating Easter. I like that this story covers so much of Jesus' life, but it lacks detail about each part. This is why I think that this book is great to use as a reminder of what Easter is about, but not as an introduction.
