GoodBookStall Review:
The story is told very simply in a manner young children will understand. It follows the Bible story closely, without dwelling on the horror of Jesus death, but not avoiding it either. I liked the way it started as Jesus and his disciples walked towards Jerusalem for the Passover and finished at the Ascension: the complete Easter story. The illustrations are colourful with plenty of detail to enhance the story telling and this slim book will give pleasure to adult and child alike.
