I teach Kindergarten at a Catholic school. This is the perfect book to tell about the birth of Jesus. It has beautiful illustations and the words engage the listener. You will love it!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I would highly recommend this book esp if you want to teach your children the real story of Christmas. It's nicely written and illustrated and appropriate for young children. .

Good version of story, colors on pages are not bright
This is a nice, classic version of the Christmas story. I like how it echoes biblical language. I do wish that the pictures were bolder, as it does not keep our young childrens'... Read more

The traditional Christmas Story. I purchased this as a Christmas book for our first grandson, so that he learned the story of the birth of Christ!

Good but old
This is a good book for teaching the Christian/Catholic meaning of Christmas but the book is over 50 years old so the wording is dated. Read more
