The Story of Easter
by: Gwen Ellis
The Story of Easter is about exactly what the title is. It starts with Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey and the town people putting down palm branches. It goes through the Last Supper and when Jesus prays for help in the garden. It tells how Jesus was arrested and then questioned by Pontius
Pilate and then how Jesus died on the cross. It tells the stone was moved from Jesus' tomb and the angel telling them that He has risen.
This is a very good book for kids to learn about Easter. It uses very simple words and the print is larger. At the beginning of each section or chapter it gives the Bible verses of where the that part of the story comes from. What I really like is that is has simple questions throughout the story and little notes that give a little more information. I have a 2 year old and it's a little to advanced for her age, but it's good to expose her at an early age of such an important story. I know one day she will be reading this book on her own and learning about the whole Easter story. The book also comes with a DVD, which my daughter loves. The illustrations are colorful and fun and I would highly recommend this book to any child.
