I really liked this book a lot. It tells the facts about Easter as a Christian holiday without any prejudice or censorship. The origins of secular Easter traditions are told as well. It also mentions Easter celebrations around the world and how they differ from American traditions. It has all the text features that we want students to recognize in a nonfiction selection. It would be a good addition to any library needing more holiday books.

This colorful little book, Easter is a very simple, basic book about spring and the Easter holiday. There is no great detail nor any story, just simple definitive sentences. Easter is listed as appropriate for grades 1-2. I disagree. It is far too simplistic for that age group and would be far better suited to 2 & 3 year old children. They would love the bright pictures and the real photos of real children with real names.

Not great at describing what Easter is at all. Not worth the read.
