The Easter Story Wildsmith has masterfully condensed
and simplified the Passion, Crucifixion and Resurrection
of Christ for young readers, and provided luminous paintings
as accompaniment in his latest picture book. The child-friendly
text describes seminal events, as when Jesus rides a faithful
donkey into Jerusalem and celebrates the Last Supper with
friends. Although the miracles depicted here hold particular
significance for Christians, all readers can appreciate
Wildsmith's gently rendered artwork and its judiciously
applied metallic paints. Expansive scenes of the Holy Land
sites are awash in soft watercolors and often flecked with
gold. Hovering winged angels and throngs of people wear
brilliant, multicolored garments. An ornate purple and gold
spread in the Garden of Gethsemane is especially stunning.
This sumptuous volume serves well as an introduction to
the Bible and also allows room for private interpretation.

The Story of Easter (Trophy Picture Books) Aileen Fisher's
informative, well-organized text describes Jesus' crucifixion
and resurrection, then moves on to explain the origins of
other springtime rituals and their connection to the biblical
traditions. Basic facts about the history of Easter, Passover,
the Easter Bunny, Easter eggs, and other forms of religious
and secular symbolism are lucidly conveyed, without going
into excessive detail. The emphasis is on the symbolism
of new life and new hope in the hearts of people, whether
in Christian celebrations or in spring festivals. As Fisher
says, "Not all Christian churches celebrate the Easter season
in the same way. But the message of Easter is always the
same. It is the joy and celebration of the belief that God's
love is stronger than death." The author includes instructions
on decorating Easter eggs, as well as a recipe for the traditional
Easter-morning treat, hot cross buns. First published in
1968, this gorgeous new edition is illustrated by Stefano
Vitale, who decorates each page as carefully and exquisitely
as if it were a precious Easter egg. Lush yet muted earth
tones and a folk-art slant to the paintings set this apart
as a truly special Easter book. (Ages 6 to 10) --Emilie

The Story of Easter (Little Golden Book) This is the
basic story of the life and death and resurrection of Jesus
that became the Christian holiday of Easter. It covers the
latter part of his life when he attracted a following as
he taught about the love of God and then was betrayed to
the Romans. Although the book discusses the crucifixion,
there is no graphic text or illustration depicting this
event. After the events of the death and resurrection are
retold, the author goes on to explain how the holy day that
became Easter got its name and discusses some of the practices
and traditions that are part of the holiday in different
places, including intersting information about the custom
of decorating Easter eggs. This is a well told, informative
look at the most holy of Christian holidays.
