Omits some key traditional Christian teachings

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2018

I liked that the language was simple for children to understand. The book goes through the main events of Holy Week. However the book seems to not take much spiritual significance to it or else is catering to non traditional Christianity. Jesus is a “storyteller and a miracle worker and a preacher”- no mention of Son of God. Also at the end it describes Pentacost with no mention of the Holy Spirit, only that “they felt brave and strong as never before.” Seems to be missing some core tenants of Christianity in the storyline.

Just me and my thoughts.

Simply told; beautifully illustrated

I've bought this as a present for my godson this Easter. It's cleverly and succinctly written to include all the salient points, in a style that will be easy to read and understand. The illustrations are lovely and really add to the story. My godson is 7 so it's more likely his mum will read this to him. I know he'll enjoy listening to the story and looking at the beautiful pictures.
