The Nativity: Six Glorious Pop-Up Scenes

By Francesca Crespi

Book Overview

A simple re-telling of the nativity story receives a strikingly handsome treatment, as special as Christmas itself. Every one of the six gilded and gloriously illustrated panoramas offers exquisitely crafted paperwork with windows that burst open to reveal such delicate, moving scenes as the Angel Gabriel attending Mary, the Holy Family in the manger, and the Three Wise Men worshipping the baby Jesus. This timeless portrayal will once again become a necessary adornment under every tree.

Our favorite

Beautifully crafted, it's our families' favorite Christmas book since the kids were little. Glad to see it's still in print!

Must Have

By far this is the most beautiful pop-up book I've ever seen. A masterpiece in pop-up art. Just the first page alone awes you as a floating angel emerges onto your theatre.

Wonderson Pop Up Paper Art

This is another example of beautiful pop up paper art. It truly is art, so wonderfully done. My almost 5 year old enjoys pop up books and is responsible enough to know that you have to be very careful with them. We added this one to our collection right before Christmas this year. The corresponding story is short enough to hold his attention also.

The N ativity Pop Up Book

Fantastic Book, I can use it for my Sunday School Class. They can enjoy the story while looking at the pop Ups. You know the old saying "One picture is worth a thousand words", and in this case it is so true. thanks, Muriel Carter

Beautiful Nativity storybook for children

This is a lovely book for sharing the Nativity story with small children. The illustrations are beautiful, and the pop-up pages are very creative and well-crafted. I look forward to having this book on hand to read to my grandchildren for future Christmases!
