Appealing and Informative

I bought this book for my preschooler as an Easter present and enjoy it overall. The illustrations are engaging, and the Easter story reads well for that age group. The only awkward aspect is the treatment of the Last Supper wherein the author has Jesus requesting his disciples drink of the "juice of the grape". While I understand the tendency to appeal to Christians of all traditions, the truth is that Jesus and his followers (even Paul in I Corinthians 11) drank wine and understood it to be his blood. It's a mystery - not easily understood - but believed, none the less.
