Description

Following the tried and tested formula of his earlier Lion Storyteller titles, Bob Hartman retells a selection of Easter stories in his own inimitable style. This collection of 23 stories includes the key Bible accounts of the events of the first Easter from Palm Sunday through to Jesus' resurrection, encounters with his friends and followers, and the ascension. Bob Hartman's retellings of familiar and sometimes serious tales are fresh and engaging, making these Bible stories accessible to the young and not-so-young. Line illustrations complement the text. As a bonus, this book includes some of Bob Hartman's favourite storytelling tips.

This is a wonderful retelling of the Easter Story for children who perhaps need a little more of a challenge than the picture book, but aren’t quite ready for the language the Bible has to offer.
It can easily be read over a number of nights or given to a stronger reader for a one off read.

Lovely book. Really enjoyed reading to my children. We should never stop trying to teach them what we can

This book retells the events of Holy Week and the First Easter in bitesize chunks for a young reader. Told in accessible language, Bob Hartman makes each story easy to understand in his familiar repetitive style. The important parts of each event are often repeated throughout and the book includes some hints to make the stories more interactive for a young audience listening and participating in the retelling. I will definitely consider using this book in collective worship during the run up to Easter in school.

Many thanks to the publisher from whom I received an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
