My children can't stop looking at this book! They linger over its scenes in the same way that they devote themselves to their LEGO idea books. The Easter Story Brick by Brick combines the best story ever told with what my boys would argue is the greatest toy ever invented. My prayer is that the truth of the story would grip the hearts of brick-loving kids even more powerfully than a good build captivates their attention.
I received The Easter Story Brick by Brick compliments of The Good Book Company in exchange for my honest review.
The Easter Story Brick by Brick is the latest title in the Brick by Brick series by Go Chatter Studios and The Good Book Company. Using scenes constructed with LEGO blocks and characters, this book tells the events of Holy Week in rhyming format.
This book is a helpful tool for parents to use with their kids. It's fun and engaging, and includes a QR code at the back of the book that, when scanned, includes directions for building an Easter scene with LEGOs. The story is available as a stop motion video on YouTube. My kids love LEGO blocks, and love this book series. I'm so glad to have this in our lineup of Easter books in our home library, and can't wait to see what's next in this series!
3.5 stars, rounded up.
This small, paperback book retells the Easter story in simple, kid-friendly language. The words have a solid rhythm for reading aloud, and the illustrations are photos of Lego builds. The brick builds by Joshua Whitehouse are intricate and full of details that kids will enjoy exploring, and Rachael Hood tells the Easter story through rhyming text and some speech bubbles.
This picture book is accurate and faithful to the Bible, and it clearly communicates the gospel. However, I felt uncomfortable with the depiction of Christ on the cross as a Lego minifigure. I do not have a problem with artistic representations of Christ, and I don't think that this series is irreverent or disrespectful in its overall handling of telling Bible stories with Legos. Still, the depiction of Jesus as a Lego minifigure during the crucifixion was too much for me, and that is the one reason why I am not rating this higher.
āThe Easter Story Brick by Brickā will appeal to kids who love Legos, and it is a fun, unique way to share the Easter story. There are also instructions in the back for building your own Easter scene with three crosses and an empty tomb. Many Christian families will enjoy this book together, and because it is an inexpensive paperback, it will also be good for church outreach opportunities and children's ministry giveaways. Overall, this book is fun without feeling too gimmicky, and it clearly explains the gospel in a way that children will understand.
I received a complimentary digital copy from the publisher, and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
Book is great, a little disappointed that you canāt buy an Easter Lego set. Surely Lego would consider producing one and have a QR code to buy it.
What a great book for kids! The Ester Story Brick-by-Brick is creative and engaging for children. Combining the beautiful story of Christās crucifixion and resurrection with fun illustrations that resemble legos, this book will be popular with many families. The graphics and word bubbles as well as the banners of narration are so inviting for children. The simple to read and rhyming makes it a fun and easy read. There is a clear reflection of Scripture with a faithfulness to not add or detract from Godās Word. At the end, there are also instructions for building your own Easter scene from lego bricks. So fun! This would be fun to even read while your kids build.
The only thing missing, in my opinion, is a brief blurb at the beginning or end of where to find the actual story in the Bible. While this is a popular portion of Scripture and likely easy to find for many, it would still be great to include for new Christians and children. Iām hoping they release many more books like this and the inclusion of where to find in the Bible would be a great addition.
There are additional resources available on The Good Bookās website with lessons for Sunday school and such, but we didnāt use those.
I received a complimentary copy as a reviewer and all opinions shared are my own.
This sweet rhyming retelling of the Easter story begins with a question: Who was Jesus really? Who was this man who showed us his love and ālet his body get broken and poured out his blood?ā
Youāll see incredible builds of Jesus coming to Jerusalem, the Garden of Gethsemane, and Jesusās trial before Pontius Pilate.
It is a faithful Biblical retelling that kids will love. The repetition of āWho was this man?ā will help young children focus on what Easter is truly about! While some worried he was a defeated king- someone who didnāt say a word or run from trouble- he actually won a great fight ābeating evil and death when he came back to life.ā
āAlthough we deny him, Jesus forgives. HE is Jesus, the King. He is Jesus. He lives!ā
This would be a great book for Easter baskets, especially for Lego fans ages 4+! Thereās even a QR code for instructions on how to build your own Easter scene.
This is the second brick-by-brick book. We also really enjoyed the Christmas one.
I do want to bring up one detail that slightly bothered me. While I am not against depictions of Christ in childrenās stories, I did not like the Lego figure of Christ on the cross. It made my daughter and I feel uncomfortable.
