Parents, grandparents, and caregivers have all embraced this telling. Don't miss this beautiful little book from the acclaimed team of Nola Buck and Felicia Bond.
My 17 month old needs books to be short and simple. She enjoys this one. It is giving some basic elements of the "nativity scene" and ends with baby Jesus. We also purchased the "God Made Christmas" dvd and she loves that as well. I will probably pull this out at Christmastime the next few years for us to read off and on.
I saw another review, probably on Amazon, comparing the text to the lyrics "I said the cow, etc." It is similar. Each page starts with "I am/ we are ____" and has a short rhyme for a star, the shepherds, the wise men, a cow, a ram, a donkey, Mary, and ends with baby Jesus. I think this is a wonderful way to introduce Christmas to a young child.
