Review
'An old-fashioned aura seeps from the gently coloured illustrations of this inspiring tale. It is about angels who are ready to fly down to earth to help the lost, the lonely and the weary. Children love the cut-out angels' heads which reveal the features of each one in turn - and the paper is sufficiently strong to withstand a great deal of handling.' -- Carousel Christmas Guide to Children's Books 2008 'This book is delightfully illustrated with a cut-out of each angel's head on every page ... Children will learn an important lesson from this book and understand that the overriding message of Christmas is to be good to others ... The rhyming sentences are lovely to read.' -- Creative Steps magazine, Nov/Dec 2008
About the Author
Else Wenz-Vietor (1882-1973) was probably the best known and most prolific children's book illustrator in 1920s and 1930s Germany. She was born in Sorau, a town now in western Poland, and was brought up by her grandparents in Freiburg. It was from her grandfather that she acquired her love of plants and animals which would become favourite themes in her pictures. In 1903 she illustrated the first of over 150 books. She also worked as a freelance artist in the interior design industry. The Christmas Angels is the first of her books to be translated into English.

Christmas Angels,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Christmas Angels (Hardcover)
I am an adult and found this book very charming while reading to my son. The illustrations are colorful, captivating, and pleasing to look at. The little angels stick out (as a bookmark would). This is a cute counting book. The hardcover edition is quality made.

The Christmas Angels - A Sweet and Charming Story,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Christmas Angels (Hardcover)
The darling illustrations to this sweet story are what first caught my attention. Original story and illustrations are from the 1930's. I bought this book for my 2 year old grandson, but have since purchased copies for my other book loving grandma friends. I enjoy having my own copy to have out at Christmas time.
