“Precious Moments: Countdown to Easter” is a simple little counting book that walks young children through the Biblical Easter account in spring while also counting down from 10 to 1. The illustrations are in the classic Precious Moments style and are filled with spring and Biblical images. This is a sweet little book to help little ones learn the story of the reason for Jesus’ coming to Earth and dying for every person. I highly recommend this book for any small children in your life.
I have grown up loving the Precious Moments and the memorable characters. This adorable book was perfect. In this book we get to celebrate Easter together. We are counting down to Easter with rhyming and fun text. We get to learn all about the reason for celebrating Easter, the resurrection of Jesus. The artwork is brillant with bright bold colors and the classic characters enjoy the love and blessings that Easter brings. Our family is in love with this story. It quickly became a family favorite perfect for storytime. It also makes the perfect gift for Easter baskets and more.
We are so thankful to have been given the ebook ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers. We can’t wait to buy it for our home library.
A million stars to this wonderful story.
Since I love everything Precious Moments, I can happily say that PRECIOUS MOMENTS: COUNTDOWN TO EASTER is an enjoyable book for children. And adults. It is exactly what the title says: a countdown to Easter. Each page is a number with different images to count, starting with 10 working down to 1 where children learn that there is only one Risen Savior, Jesus. The images are beautiful and the story is simple and whimsical.
I read this book with my daughter and although she is above the age range she really enjoyed - I do think that her attending Catholic school and understanding what happened did help.
I really liked the illustrations in this book, they were so lovely and really helped to bring this story to life. The book is well written, it is easy to follow and the layout is perfect. The text is a great size and the pages are nice, bright and clear.
It is 5 stars from me for this one - a must for any primary school - very highly recommended!
Such a sweet book and story. A wonderful introduction to the Easter story and counting. The illustrations were lively, enchanting and full of joy. This story just made me smile. I plan to purchase for my great nieces. I was blessed with a free ARC, and I’m leaving my review voluntarily. Highly recommend.
Thank you, Tommy Nelson, for the ARC.
This is such a playful read for the kids when they are just at the right age to teach them basic counting. The book is more about the Easter Holidays, perfect to mingle with friends and family, stay out in midst of our own community.
The illustration is just gorgeous!
Precious Moments are so nostalgic for me. They transport me right back to the 1990s and my very own Precious Moments Bible. So when I saw this on Netgalley I had to read it! A cute 10 to 1 countdown book with the iconic Precious Moments illustrations. It does actually include the full message of the gospel within it's short pages. A great Easter read that covers numbers, colors, animal and plant identification, and the gospel message!
With the beautiful Precious Moments illustrations, comes this sweet Easter board book for young children. The text is written in a rhythmic rhyming format and even presents the Gospel in a simple manner for little ones - “Three wood crosses side by side, remind us of why Jesus died. Jesus saved us from our sin, so we can live in heaven with Him.”
Interactive books such as this can help toddlers connect and develop a love of books and reading. First there are several symbols of Easter and new life to count including ten lambs, nine Easter lilies, eight bunnies, seven butterflies, six Easter eggs, and five chicks. Following these are items from the Easter story such as four palm branches, three crosses, two angels and One Jesus forever! Each item offers great discussion opportunities with how they all relate to the story of Easter.
Many of the items are seen on other pages and can be used to encourage counting them again, such as asking how many butterflies or lilies they see now. You can also easily use this little book to point out and learn basic colors.
Thank you to Netgalley and Tommy Nelson Publishing for the digital ARC. All opinions are my own.
Thank you to NetGalley and Tommy Nelson publishing for an advanced read copy of this book.
Precious Moments: Countdown to Easter is an adorable counting book that presents the Easter story in a simplified manner for toddlers and preschool age children. The illustrations are beautiful and engaging and it provides little readers the opportunity to practice their counting on each page. This book is short and sweet while still making sure to present the Gospel message. I would recommend this book to parents of toddlers and preschoolers. It would also make a great read aloud for a Sunday School class.
This is a lovely board book story to prepare all of my children countdown to Easter. The book is colorful and I like to read it loudly to your children. This is definitely must read book to your children
