5.0 out of 5 stars The real Christmas story told in a fun & imaginative way!, December 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Baby Who Changed the World (Hardcover)

"A BABY who will change the world-- born in our stable tonight?" the animals ask. The Ox thinks it will be a baby ox.
Tthe sheep thinks it must be a newborn lamb. The cow is certain it will be a calf. How shocked they are to learn that it's a baby human boy. "How can a sinful human save humans from their sins?" they exclaim in astonishment.When they see that this is no ordinary human baby-- but God's perfect Son, they're elated. Watch these delightful animals as they celebrate the arrival of the baby who really did change the world! A wonderful book!

I wasn't thrilled with this book for my preschooler and toddler. The animals talk too much and the kids get lost with the story.
