Beautiful, sturdy small read aloud book, with brilliant concepts from the Bible brought to life for 25 daily readings leading up to December 25th. For truly simple fun, you can buy the stuffed shepherd and intro book in a sturdy manger box to mirror the elf. If you are frugal, and have a shepherd nativity set, you could use your own shepherd to hide every day and read this book, and if you kids are too cool for finding a shepherd- this book isn't focused on that- its 25 great concepts to ponder, treasure, and process as we anticipate and wait for the Lord Jesus birthday celebration. I can't wait to read it next year, and wonder if we will end up with Christmas in July this year so I can read this and talk about it with my 4 kids! I like the pictures, the teaching concepts are higher level thinking, biblical based, with great real life connections to think about. I really like it- so much I sat down and read it all the day it arrived.
