PreS-Gr 1–Beginning with the canonical tale of Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, this board book provides a simple and easy-to-understand overview of the Biblical sequence that ends with the Resurrection. The story is presented in a sentence or two per spread, with one word in bold in the text on the left side. On the right side, the bold word appears again, accompanied by a boxed illustration intended to further highlight and define the term. Textured, muted watercolor images are simple, presenting characters and scenes in a manner set to appeal to younger audiences.
VERDICT Purchase where Christian holiday texts are popular.
