Perfect as a gift for the holiday season, Away In A Manger is a colorful, boxed cloth-book. Three two-page spreads on padded cloth pages depict scenes of the first Christmas in Bethlehem. Making the book especially engaging for children, ages one through four, is a stuffed, cloth gold star of Bethlehem that can be pulled from its Velcro spot on the cover and attached to the inside pictures, and a ribbon-attached baby Jesus that can be removed from a slot in the front cover and inserted into pictures inside the book. A Velcro-tipped cloth snap holds the book closed.
The illustrated scenes vividly portray Mary, Joseph and the infant Jesus, shepherds, angels and the three wise-men, bearing frankincense and myrrh.
Furnishing an understanding of the true meaning of Christmas and providing a safe, simple toy for young children, Away In A Manger is sure to be a perennial holiday favorite.
