Editorial Reviews

Review

"Pfister's nicely retold Christmas nativity uses the same hologram foil stamping technique as his very popular "The Rainbow Fish. . . . Bound to be a hit with kids."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Christmas Star-Pure elegance, May 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Christmas Star (Library Binding)

This book is a fluent read about the birth of Jesus. The pictures add a touch of dreamy take me back in time feel. This is a must have story for the holiday season.

This review is from: The Christmas Star (Board book)

There may be good Christmas books out there, but this isn't one of them. I bought it for my grandson to go with the Little People manger set. It doesn't really tell the Christmas story, however. Concentration on the star and not the baby Jesus. The text isn't suitable for a young child either--too many big words.

This review is from: Christmas Star Counter Display: The Christmas Star (Hardcover)

The title is 'The Christmas Star' but the star is not the focus of this book. The Star of Bethlehem is on most of the pages but that is because it is leading everyone to the Holy Child,Jesus Christ!
