Libby. A children’s book on events of Christmas

I love this board book - it is perfect for little ones. You can read the whole book to your 3 or 4 year old (or have an older child read it) or it is broken into small parts of the story (like the angel coming to Mary, the shepherds, the wise men, etc.) and talk about 1 part of the story at a time (better for younger children's attention spans). It even includes the fact (and picture) that Christ was a young child when the wise men found him, and it includes the Book of Mormon story of Samuel the Lamanite and the night in the Americas where it was as light as day (because of the new star, as prophesied). I'd highly recommend this one, thus the 5 stars.
