Reviews

"In a warm and simple style, Nerlove presents customs and a smattering of history related to these two religious holidays. Told in rhyming verse, both books emphasize ways families celebrate together; particularly, the ways which children participate. . . . A pleasant introduction to the holidays for the youngest family members." Publishers Weekly

"Easter introduces a black family as they make and hunt Easter eggs, get ready for church, and hear the Easter story, which is shown in its biblical milieu. After church it's time for Easter dinner with family and friends." Booklist
