A Christmas Dress For Ellen

The story is very touching and warms the heart. The illustrations are beautiful and add just the right amount of sugar to sweeten the book.

Christmas Miracle

A Christmas Dress for Ellen is a heartwarming story of the faith of a mother living in abject poverty. It is also a story of the goodness of many, many people. It's a story of a Christmas Miracle. Best of all, it's a true story of real people with real faith! Although written as a children's book, it's a great story for children of all ages... even those of us who are a "little" beyond childhood. I bought two copies; one for my family and one for a friend.

a must have

This book is so beautifully told and illustrated. The true spirit of Christmas is felt from reading this...and it is a true story with a happy ending! I keep giving my own copy away to friends and have to buy more! (All my friends love the book as well.) My 3 and 5 year old like to listen to it, too!

A wonderful Christmas Story

This is a wonderful Christmas story that the whole family will enjoy, told in Elder Monson's typical warm-hearted manner. A must for Christmas--the real meaning of Christmas.
