Absolutely beautiful illustrations of the Blessed Virgin!

I knew this beginning nativity book would still be a bit much for my newly 2 year old but this was great to use for looking at and sometimes reading it sometimes just telling our one 1 sentence description for each part. I look forward to revisiting this one every year.

This little golden book does a great job at summarizing the Lords birth without loosing any of the importance of the story.

Cute! A nice little story about Christmas.

Reminiscing with childhood books

The boys liked this book for Christmas.

5 stars
Nativity story with pictures.

This is a good telling of the Christmas story. I just wish they had gone into more detail on the last page... I don't feel they said enough about Who Jesus is/grew up to be.

Genre: Picture books- Religious picture book
Awards: None
Audience: Ages 2-4
A. This book qualifies as an easy to read picture book because of the amount of words used to tell the story that coincide with large illustrations. The story is also broken down into language that a very young child would understand and also be interested in.
B. A visual element highly used in this book is line and perspective. The pictures overflow onto the pages after each other, therefore continuing the train of thought and making the readers' eye follow along. Color is also used to highlight and illuminate things the author is trying to emphasize.
C. This book would be good to use with a child during a one-on-one story time to share a simplified version of the Christian's christmas story.
D. What could Mary and Joseph not find? A place to sleep.

A beautiful little golden book telling of The Christmas Story of Jesus' birth.

Pretty close to biblical the art took a lot of direction from old catholic art not my style

This was published the year my mother was born - my nieces loved this fact!
