Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-An attractive, simple retelling of the story of Jesus's birth, from Mary's encounter with the angel Gabriel through the young family's escape from Herod to Egypt and their eventual return to Nazareth. The book also includes a brief discussion of Christmas celebrations, a note on the biblical role of angels, the words and music to "Away in a Manger," and a recipe for Christmas biscuits (cookies), using British terms and measurements. Luminous jewel-toned watercolors amplify the narrative. The text is straightforward, easy enough for beginning readers, and interesting enough to share as a read-aloud. This is the next step up from Vivian French's The Story of Christmas (Candlewick, 1999), and ideal for readers who aren't quite ready for the King James Bible version.-M. A.
