Reviews

[Rebekah Morris · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a board book for the very youngest ones and tells the story of the first Christmas. A good way to introduce the little ones to the real reason for Christmas.

[Sarah Poling · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book does a great job explaining the unique aspect of Jesus' birth. Angels had to come and explain to Mary, to Joseph, to the Shepherds about this special event, the occasion of a new King. The book is large enough for a read-aloud. It's a board book. Images are warm and friendly and the word choice makes the listener be engaged and thinking as they listen to the book.

This is a great Christmas story for kids. It is based on the Bible description of when the Angels shared the good news of Christ birth. This helps kids understand the story of Christ’s birth with fun illustrations and simpler words. Genre Nonfiction
