O Holy Night,
By
This review is from: The First Christmas (Hardcover)
I was browsing in Barnes and Noble last night, and my husband and I were juggling our seven-month-old and our two-year-old. One glance at this cover was all I needed to promptly grab it off the shelf and momentarily hand off the beloved baby so I could use two hands to peruse the evocative pages.
The illustrations are stunning. In a word: reverent. The bold colors cause the light in the pictures to bound off the pages. With every turn of the page, I caught my breath as another piercing illustration caused a reverie. What's even more impressive is the text is clean, and simple, and serves as a faithful backdrop for the pictures of the beginning of the life of our Messiah. I was not at all surprised to find that this is a Guideposts-published book. Each time I flip through, I find a new favorite illustration. For the moment, I'm stuck on the depiction of the Three Wise Men. The portrayal, while probably accurate, is also breathtaking in its beauty. Whether you have children or not, this book is worth owning. And, as a parent, I look forward to reading this one to my babies. Purchase and enjoy--you won't be disappointed.

The Real Christmas Story,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The First Christmas (Hardcover)
If you know the real reason for the holiday season you will buy this book. It's not preachy, and does not make you feel like a bad Christian or parent for enjoying the holidays (santa, presents, lights, tree, etc). A must have to help your young ones understand why we celebrate in December at all!

A Straightforward but Heartwarming Version,
By HappyMommy (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The First Christmas (Hardcover)
My 3 1/2 year old boy really enjoys this book. He's a book lover, and very patient when I read him longer stories such as this one. I could see some children needing to start this one at a little later age.
Beautiful illustration.
