Book Review: The Very First Easter

With Easter coming up, you might be scrounging in the library or on your bookshelf to find good renditions of the Resurrection story to read with your kids.



A few years ago, my hubby stumbled upon this excellent book...I just have to share!



This book was authored by a historian, whose aim was to present the story as historically accurate as possible (including the illustrations). The story is set inside the story of Christopher, a modern 8-year-old boy who has lots of questions about Easter for his parents.



This book is ideal for (in my opinion) ages 7-11, as it's rather long. However, we read it to our toddlers with no problems, as long as we read it in several sittings. They love it!



The illustrations are beautiful and realistic, without being overly graphic, or cheesy for that matter. You can grab it on amazon here!
