Easter Books

Let your child join Clifford (the small red puppy in this book) as he prepares for Easter. Your child will love finding out what is in the grass, behind the milk, and outside, behind the curtains. Clifford's First Easter is another great Clifford story that your child will love being involved in!

The book was fantastic it gave us a lot of Ideas for new drama

What's not to like about a book that includes a little mystery, a little romance, a little hockey, and a little good old fashion religion? Set in the quaint town of Budd Lake, New Jersey, the story of Andi and Jonsey is one that will make you want to keep reading, chapter after chapter, long after the candle on your nightstand burns itself out!

The characters in this book remind you of people that you have known and loved, like the people who might live in your own neighborhood or worship with you in your own congregation. Bruce Campanella makes us realize that even a first time writer can tell an incredible tale and satisfy his readers!

The annual Catholic tradition of Lent is suppose to be a yearly period for one to reflect their relationship with God. "The Critical Questions...and More: Three Pre-Easter Bible Studies" is here to help readers better look at themselves in this annual holy time leading up the celebration of the resurrection. Split into three separate yet equal parts of Critical Questions, Who Do You Say He Is?, and I Saw Jesus, "The Critical Questions...and More: Three Pre-Easter Bible Studies" is a scholarly and deftly researched compilation of religious questions and highly recommended for community library religious collections.

This was a great book, that kind of snuck in Jesus amongst the animals, for children who will argue with you about reading another book about Jesus. This book touched me, too.

This is a wonderful meditation on the 7 last words of Christ for lent. It is short and easy to read. This author was a mystic and good friend of Hans Urs von Balthasar. Together they founded the Community of St. John. Their works have been translated by Ignatius Press into English.

17 sermons on Gospel texts, chiefly Mark and John for use in the Year B of the common lectionary. Sundays include all of Lent and Easter seasons. Texts expounded: the wilderness temptation, healing of a deaf man, cleansing of the temple, Nicodemus, the crucifixion, the resurrection, doubting thomas, the good shepherd, the ascension. Richard Jensen is an excellent narrative preacher. Highly recommended!

Maybe because she hasn't been discovered by American publishers. I don't know why -- it's worth the effort to get one of her books. Literate, funny, good plotting, fairly complex plots -- these are books that you make you want to read the whole series. The detective character is Gracie Smith, a former police officer who was drummed out of the local constabulary (she's English) because she was suspected of taking a bribe that resulted in a policeman's killer going free. Her policeman father won't forgive her, despite her innocence, so she's estranged from her family. She's not the easiest person -- very independent, notoriously cheap (she's a scrounger), and very direct -- says what's on her mind (which is sometimes very funny). She lives in a small seaside town and works as a private investigator.

In this book, the latest in the series, Gracie is asked to investigate some poison pen letters -- but she's asked to investigate by the recipient's mother, who doesn't want her son to know she's hired an investigator. The son is married to a famous television actress who is filming her series in the town and has bought a house she's renovating. Grace presents herself as a gardener to gain entree to the house (although Grace knows NOTHING about gardening and ends up whacking away at the overgrown back yard -- garden -- with a chain saw). The couple have a rather strange young woman living with them, and Grace makes friends with her to try to spend more time inside the house so she can watch the mail and find out who might have a grudge against the man and why.

It becomes clear that since this couple grew up in the area, the letters could -- and probably do -- involve something that happened 15 or so years ago. But what? And who is sending the letters and why? The man involved is rather unstable, which makes matters worse.

Then at the same time, an old boyfriend (someone she still has attractions to but is wary of) also hires her, to look into the death/disappearance of a 14 year old girl. The girl's parents don't want any reinvestigation, so first she has to persuade them and others involved in the case to cooperate. ALthough the person who is believed to have killed the girl died at the time (killed by the girl's father?), no body has ever been found.

This probably isn't my very favorite in the series but it's a very good mystery that I highly recommend.

Our little boy listens to this book over and over again. He loves the pictures and the words (which he knows by heart). He enjoys lifting the flaps to find the eggs. The book has held up well through many many readings! I am now going to look for more books like this one with D.W. and Arthur.

All children need to learn about color and Marc Brown always enlighten's the mood of reading to children. He is a wonderful author and I would reccommend any of his books.

This book tells the story of a very loving, hard working single parent rabbit and his love for his children. As a child, I feel in love with the illustrations and story line. I searched and searched for a copy of my own once I became an adult. I look forward to sharing this book w/ my child. I would reccomend this book highly!!
