Synopsis
Simple text and photographs describe the history of Easter and the many ways in which it is celebrated.
Beverley Fahey <%ISBN%>0736814450 - Children's Literature
The essential elements of Easter, both religious and secular, are described in the simplest of terms for the youngest of readers. Bright, full-color photos of children painting eggs, a grinning Easter bunny, a family celebrating with a special meal, the risen Christ, and new life with adorable lambs and chicks visually clarify the abbreviated text that relies on the repetition of words and phrases in its endeavor to help children learn. Christians may take exception to the description of Jesus (in the body of the text) as a "man who went up to heaven" with no mention made of His divinity. The Words to Know and Read More section may be of help to parents and teachers using this book with young children. It was difficult to find specific Easter-theme material upon searching the three Internet sites that are appended. Part of the "Holidays and Celebrations" series, this will fill a gap where material is needed for units related to culture. 2003, Pebble Books,
