[Jen · Rating 3 out of 5]

A wordy, detailed telling of the events of Holy Week, quite faithful to the scriptural account.

We loved this book. It had beautiful pictures and a beautifully written story about Jesus and the first Easter. My 4 year old lost interest a couple of times, but my 5 year old loved it and listened to the whole story.

We read this on Easter. I liked it. It was a good depth for my 4-yr-old, but I still added some details and clarified some others for her.
