My little boy received this when he was 1; however, this Christmas he hasn't been able to put it down. Lifting the flaps seems to help him grasp the story better. One of the best books I've seen for the littlest ones to understand the Christmas story!

My boys (ages 4 & 2 1/2) really like this story. It does a good job of telling the story of the nativity, and in a way that is accessible to very young children. My only problem with the book is that Mary does not look very much like traditional depictions of her. She is shown without any head covering throughout the book, and it is very unlikely that she would have been uncovered, due to the social norms at that time. She is also wearing a sleeveless dress, which I also find unlikely. All in all, a wonderful depiction of the Christmas story. (Oh, and my kids love to lift the flaps too!) We plan to purchase more books in the series.

My three year old loves this book. The flaps help tell the story and make it very exciting for the little ones. I can't wait to buy others in the series. Most lift and flap books aren't of this quality.
