This book retells the events of Holy Week and the First Easter in bitesize chunks for a young reader. Told in accessible language, Bob Hartman makes each story easy to understand in his familiar repetitive style. The important parts of each event are often repeated throughout and the book includes some hints to make the stories more interactive for a young audience listening and participating in the retelling. I will definitely consider using this book in collective worship during the run up to Easter in school.

Many thanks to the publisher from whom I received an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Lovely book. Really enjoyed reading to my children. We should never stop trying to teach them what we can

This is a wonderful retelling of the Easter Story for children who perhaps need a little more of a challenge than the picture book, but aren’t quite ready for the language the Bible has to offer.
It can easily be read over a number of nights or given to a stronger reader for a one off read.
