Easter is Coming

Board books are some of my favorite books to have in my library since we have 3 girls under 5 years of age. And they are ROUGH on books.


The colors are vibrant and inviting. So this book is of course about Easter and it visits different stories in the Bible (Adam & Eve, The Old Testament in General, then the last supper and other events in Jesus' life) and states that while people acted in ways that did not please God, they were unaware that Easter, the Resurrection, was coming. This book generally exchanges the Resurrection with Easter. 

My personal opinion: It's bright and colorful. It's vibrant and inviting. It's a board book, meaning sturdy enough to withstand the hands of a 4 yr old, 3 yr old, and 11 month old. However, on a theology level, people could easily have an issue with the world Easter being interjected for Resurrection. While we have come to easily exchange the two, they are actually two different events. However, I do understand what the author is trying to do, which is get our children to look beyond the bunny, eggs, and baskets to see Jesus & the cross.



{FYI I received this book from the publisher in exchange for my HONEST opinion.}
