Customer Reviews

Excellent Story

This book depicts the story of the birth of Jesus as it does in the Bible, but tells it in a way that children will understand. I found it to be the most accurate of other books I've read on the same topic. Some books add elements to the story that did not happen, but not this book! The pictures were beautiful. I read it to my 4 and 2 year old and both were fascinated with it. I highly recommend this book.

A Very Special Christmas Story

Martha Whitmore Hickman stays very close to the bible story in every detail without making things too complicated for the little ones. The illustrations are light and glorious. This is just a perfect and very sweet re-telling of the Christmas Story. (If you have a child younger than three- I would also recommend "Christmas in the Manger" illustration by Felicia Bond.)
