4.0 out of 5 stars Still Love The Christmas Story December 10, 2008
Format:Hardcover
When I was a little girl, my mom bought The Christmas Story book that was in circulation in the 70's. I remember closely looking at the pictures, loving the beautiful colors. The copy I had showed Mary on the cover.

I bought this book for my two year old and was thrilled to see that even though the cover illustration had changed, the story AND the illustrations on the inside were exactly what I remembered from my own copy years ago.

My daughter really loves this book, and I enjoy reading it to her. Would highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars True to the Bible... March 21, 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
We bought The Christmas Story as a gift for our son. We wanted to use the book to share the birth of Jesus around the holidays. It is very child friendly, and the artwork was wonderful. It will become a tradition for us to read this every year during the Christmas season.

If you are buying this book to give to beginner readers, it uses vocabulary such as jostling, weary, kinsmen, wicked, and departed. Easy words for adults, but more difficult for children to decode and comprehend the story. I also felt as if some of the sentence structures were a bit awkward. Overall, it is a great way to introduce the true Christmas story to your family.

This was a gift for my infant granddaughter. Her mom read the story to her often. According to her mom, she 'enjoyed' the story, and was quiet when it was read to her. Amazing! Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic! April 7, 2011
By Jutho
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I loved this book when I was a child. It wasn't just for Christmas in my house. Now my 3 year old regularly asks for it at bedtime. It tells the Christmas story simply, incorporating some of the key phrases from the Bible. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. A lovely way to introduce the Christmas story to a child.

2.0 out of 5 stars ok December 21, 2012
By floater
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was looking for a kids book that explains the Christmas story. It does but I think the word choice is too complex and too old world for my 4 year old. I end up changing some of the sentences as I read so that he understands.
