Fabulous new twist to an old story

A fabulous, heartwarming Christmas book that portrays the birth of Jesus in a new light. Excellent and highly recommended.

An outstanding Christmas story!

I just recently received "The Littlest Magi" as a gift for my son. We absolutely love it! The illustrations are breathtaking and the story is magical. Mr. Auer has taken the well-known Christmas story and added a unique and creative twist. We see the birth of Jesus from the eyes of a small, orphaned boy who learns about the true meaning of Christmas. It will definitely become a holiday tradition in our household.

A Little Christmas Magic

Lushly illustrated in a style reminiscent of Disney's "Aladdin", "The Littlest Magi" skillfully weaves a tale that combines elements of the familiar Christmas story with an original story of a small, unimportant boy--a servant to King Herod--who strikes out on an adventure and discovers that there is another kind of King. The story allows children to visualize themselves in the title role and thus to participate in the events in a way sure to delight them.

A new Christmas tradition

I read this book to my seven year old nephew Thanksgiving night and he said, "I thought it was really neat how Jacob helped baby Jesus escape from King Herod and how he got a family in the end." This book tells the Christmas story through the eyes of a child and I expect it to become a family tradition for many Thanksgiving to come.
