My Easter Bible Storybook is your typical Precious Moments book, and that is not a bad thing. My first bible was a Precious Moments bible and I still have it today, though I have out grown it and now use an adult bible. Precious Moments are beautiful. The pictures are always so colorful and calming. The artist knows how to draw emotion in a way that is not scary, even when the picture is of a sad child. The poems are quite nice, except there is one that has a bit of a racist line, pointing out Jesus loves all children by describing them by colors; red, black, white, yellow people. If this is being read to a young child, it probably isn’t that bad but just so you are aware.
The book has pages of just pictures, pages with poems, and pages with pictures and simplified bible verses. It does not seem to have a slant in any denominational direction. I would buy this book for a child as a perfect Easter gift. It would also make a good children’s book for your child to read in church, if they are young but still able to read. This book would be good to read as bedtime stories by chapter. Children from pre-k though probably 9 years old would enjoy this book, as would those of us that just love Precious Moments things.
I received this book as an ARC, but I am not paid to review it. I review books so that you have a better understanding of what to read to your child, or what your child is reading.
If looking for that perfect Easter Basket present, look no further. The Precious Moments Easter Storybook Bible is absolutely adorable. I had the pleasure of browsing through one of these electronically in ADE and I cannot wait to see one in person. It is definitely on our wishlist. Precious Moments characters have always been cute, but to mix in the prayers and poems with the love and redemption of Christ puts it over the top. Whether a collector of Precious Moments, or just looking for a good Easter gift – this one fits in any situation. A cute board book full of Jesus for everyone to love.

This is just an adorable little book that has passages from the Bible as well as song lyrics and little notes to celebrate God, Jesus and Easter. My kids seemed to enjoy the pictures!
