Please read to me--parents and teachers love to hear these words, love stories, especially stories they can participate in. In this charming question-and-answer book, little ones have fun while learning about popular Bible stories--thirteen in all. The responses to the straightforward questions are easy to understand, yet invite further exploration: Who saw the empty tomb? Mary! She had see where Jesus' dead body had been lain, and she went early in the morning to the garden, bringing spices to anoint his body. But she found the stone had been rolled away. Jesus was alive and risen from the dead! Beautifully illustrated in full color, this book will make enjoyable reading in religious education classes or for just sitting in mom or dad's lap.
