Great "Legend" to keep the reason for Easter in a childs mind

This is a great book to keep children remembering the true reason for the Easter Holiday. My boys LOVE these books! They are beautiful. Someone had mentioned in a review that it was not fact, well no, it is not. But are most Legends? (Isn't that way it is called a legend?!) So if you are looking for a book to celebrate Easter and heartwarming, this is an amazing book!!

beautiful illustrations

This is one of several Easter-themed books our family owns, and it is one we return to again and again no matter what time of year. It contains many of the various elements of Lent/Holy Week, and weaves them into a lovely children's story. The illustrations are outstanding, particularly the one of the angel outside the empty tomb on Easter morning. Currently we have the board book version (which is of course abbreviated) and like it so much that we want to buy the full-length version. I'm confused as to why a previous reviewer gave it only 3 stars but had no criticism of it. It's a 5-star book in my opinion and highly recommended.
