The First Easter, Board Book for Children, By Julie David & Gemma Denham, Candle Board Book Edition, 2010, 18 pages, Ages 4-8, ISBN-13: 978-0825474194, $7.99

Juliet David and Gemma Denham's simplified Easter story for toddlers is offered in a delightful fold-out board book with cut-out peep holes for youngsters to explore and poke with tiny fingers.

David's simple sentences pair with Denham's simply drawn, bright and colorful illustrations to tell the story of Passion Week, from the "borrowed" donkey on Palm Sunday to Jesus' joyful resurrection Easter Sunday. Simple faces with a variety of expressions such as joy, determination or deep thought, convey the mood of the story.
