*received for free from netgalley for honest review* Cute babys first book for Easter, really love how cute this series is!

Baby's First Easter by D.K. Publishing is a lovely, little book to introduce the holiday Easter to your little ones.

This book fits the two years old to five years old age group. It's short, has bright and colourful pictures and is very simplistic in nature. It teaches that religion is tied to Easter and the background surrounding the religious holiday.

I think this will be a great resource for those teaching about the religious side of Easter. I went to Sunday school way back in the day but, honestly, this book provided more information in a helpful and kid friendly way than church ever did.

Three out of five stars!

Thank you to NetGalley and DK Publishing for providing a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

As other reviewers have said, this book is very simple. However, I find that is a positive characteristic. This is a board book meant for babies and toddlers. It introduces them to the meaning of the holiday, which is exactly what the purpose of this book. I loved the writing and the images used to tell the story.

This board book from DK introduces babies to terminology and images related to the Christian celebration of Easter. I appreciate that it offers a perspective on Easter as a religious holiday, instead of only focusing on chicks, bunnies, and Easter eggs, but it is very simplistic, and I am not sure how much it will appeal to different audiences.

The book is so simple that it does not provide a lot of information for someone who is trying to introduce their child to different religious holidays. Each page involves something different, such as the Last Supper, but because the book does not provide any context or information about what happened or what this means, a parent who has different beliefs would need a high enough level of religious literacy to explain these different parts of the Easter narrative and the Christian faith.

Christian parents may enjoy using this resource with their children, but because it does not explain who Jesus is, why he came, why he died, or why this matters, they would more likely gravitate to one of the many Christian books about this holiday. Because many other Easter resources explain the message of the gospel, parents have lots of options to choose from that align with their beliefs, instead of just introducing objects and concepts devoid of their context.

A very simple version of the Easter story for kids. It talks about the events and timeline for Easter, but it completely misses the why of Easter. It never mentions Jesus as savior or the gift of salvation. For that reason I cannot recommend this book.

I received an advance copy of, Baby's First Easter, by DK. This book is short and simple. A perfect book for children to learn about Easter!
