This fun, colorful and wonderfully-designed resource is the perfect picture book to read with preschoolers this Easter.

The blurb tells me that Miss PattyCake is one of today's best-loved children's personalities, but I don't know amongst who. This book seems to miss the mark on most accounts - the metre and rhyming in the text is inconsistent, most of the pictures of children look like stock images, some of them don't look happy to be in the book, the super-imposed pictures are a lower quality than the backgrounds, and Miss Grace (a head in a book) is really the stuff of nightmares.

On the positive, Miss PattyCake absolutely beams from each page as she tells the story of Jesus' resurrection. That's it for positives.

This book has been tagged with eyebrows because Colonel Tick Tock has some impressive ones.

This book is dated, for sure! It is 20 years old. My girls used to watch Miss PattyCake, but I don’t think children watch her anymore. For me, this is nostalgic, but I don’t know if people would enjoy this book without the personal connection to it that I have. To maximize reading, Resurrection Eggs are needed. There is also the Miss PattyCake Eggstravaganza dvd to compliment the book. The eggs have items inside to aid in the telling of the resurrection story, and the dvd includes the songs printed in this book. Lovely for young children!

Low quality work, puzzlingly slapdash design, and not even reasonable theology. My kid picked it from the library because her short hair on the front reminded him of Maria in The Sound of Music.
