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.

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.

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.

the book arrived on time and is a good story. bought it for my 2-year-old and will replace it with a higher quality copy when she is older. no complaints, though.

I bought the book for my granddaughters for christmas. they loved the books and I am sure will cherish them for years to come. who knows, they may even pass them down, generation to generation.

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 bought this to go along with the Little People Nativity to set out for my Granddaughters to enjoy for Christmas. I had this same book as a child and am pleased to be reading it to my grand children. As I read the story my three year old played it out with the nativity and it couldn't have been sweeter. I do reccommend this book.

I purchased 15 of these books. They were given out to a group of EC kids that I got to play Santa Claus for during an off site enrichment party for the kids that was held at our Church.

The books arrived on time (all 15 in one delivery!!)and in "brand new condition".

I anticipate doing business with Amazon again.

We purchased "The Christmas Story" to add to our son's books. We took it to our family's Christmas celebration to share with his cousins before everyone opened their Christmas gifts. It was short enough to hold everyone's attention but did not skimp on the details of Christ's birth and being accurate to Scripture. We will include reading this book in each year's Christmas celebrations.
