Book Overview

Customer Reviews

Should be read every year! Christmas Classic!

A Christmas Guest by David LaRochelle has been our family's alltime favorite Christmas story. The story about a small boy and his mother entertaining an angel unaware is timelessly beautiful and in keeping with the true Christmas spirit. This treasure of a book is now out of print and I would love it if everybody would write to the publishers, Lerner Books Publishing, Carolrhoda books...and ask them to reprint it so that everyone can have a copy of this fine book. The pictures are poignantly lovely and the book is in rhyme. It is a great book to read to small children right before bed as it is easily read in ten minutes. It is also a great book to read to adults!

An oustanding book - a Christmas Classic in our house!!

A Christmas Guest is my families' favorite Christmas story. It captures the spirit of Christmas in a beautifully illistrated fashion. It is a wonderful book to read alone or to a group. My wife shares it with the kids' classes at school every year. It is truly a Christmas Classic!!

A WONDERFUL READ WITH BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS

This beautifully written Christmas story captivates young and old readers alike. It has become a tradition for our family to read it every Christmas Eve (and throughout the year!). After only one reading of the book, it becomes a treasure. Thank you, Mr. LaRochelle, for this marvelous book.
