My Review
It was pretty fun to read this book with my daughter, and the repetition in the style of The Twelve Days of Christmas had her joining along. I loved hearing her repeat the most-used phrase, "Jesus Loves Me!" This is a colorful book with simple illustrations (a bit unrefined for my taste), and highlights 11 symbols that relate to Christ and/or Easter. The explanation of the symbolism isn't given until the end of the book in an afternote, and I would have preferred them being part of the text, so the meaning could be associated with the imagery. I think making the connection would be challenging for younger children, but older children could more easily comprehend it. Including a boy character would have made it more appealing to both genders as well. This book would be a meaningful addition to an Easter basket and can be read year after year.
