This is a wonderful book for both children and adults. It was written by a second grade teacher for her class to perform and it goes through each letter of the alphabet in order telling the Christmas story. "A is for Augustus who sent out the decree..." I originally discovered it because it was recommended in "The Godparent Book", when I found the library I was in awe. It is one of the few intelligent books the aims to tell the who Christmas story without dumbing it down or putting in overly cutetsy or sentimental pictures. The pictures are lavish and brightly colored. It goes far beyond the standard alphabet format so that even adults will enjoy reading and re-reading it year after year. My family reads one Christmas story every day leading upto the 25th, this is a definate must have for your collection if you do the same thing.

This is a beautifully illustrated book with a simple and wonderful text. I find it a joyful experience to look at the colorful and interesting illustrations. I share it with my daughter, but I purchased the book for myself!

This book is beautifully written and illustrated. It depicts the glory of the Christmas season. Not only is this my favorite Christmas story for children, it is also my daughters' favorite Christmas story.

Children enjoy alphabet books, rhyming couplets and the story of Christ Jesus' birth, so this book combines three winning elements. In addition, the illustrations are especially appealing. I frequently give this book as a gift and highly recommend it. When my twenty-something daughter saw my copy of this book, she wanted one, too. You won't be disappointed.

I think that this book is excelent for young readers who are just beginning. This Catholic Book expresses the spirit of Christmas in a jolly form! When I first turned the page of this book in Kindergarten, I absolutly loved it!
