5.0 out of 5 stars Is that what Christmas is about, a "better" flashier manger November 11, 2004

I did the same thing a few other people did. I ordered this thinking it would light up, play music and come in a collector box. I was surprised when it arrived in a white box and was more surprised when it didn't light up and play music. When I came back to the Amazon site to check the description I caught my error. Amazon's description is what I received, but then where did I read that it lights up and plays music....on the Fisher Price website. It comes up on their site as "Catalog Exclusive" but is a deluxe set which is $30.00 plus $6.95 shipping. The deluxe set has additional pieces, hay for the animals and some fence pieces. I read the description there, toggled over to Amazon, saw the "Exclusive" and just assumed it was the same. Tsk, tsk on my part. All in all there was no harm done. I bought this to help my friend keep her one year old daughter away from their Christmas tree and the traditional manger set. I showed it to my daughter, who is three, and she wanted to put it in her room immediately! She likes it either way. I thought of buying the deluxe set for my friend and keeping this set for my daughter, but when dealing with a manger (of all things) it just doesn't seem right to consider this product inferior. Don't feel cheated, take the $15.00 difference and buy the book "The Christmas Star" by Marcus Pfister as a companion to the manger set. Reading to a child about the star of Bethlehem, and acting out the story with the manger set, will stick with them longer than the 5 seconds they spend staring at the musical star.

4.0 out of 5 stars we love Little People! December 3, 2003

This is a great way to introduce our daughter to the true meaning of Christmas, with a toy that will hold her attention for more than a minute! Many people commented that this Nativity scene differs from the one in the Fisher Price catalogue (with the lit star, music etc). If you look at Fisher Price's website it says "Catalogue exclusive", so of course you can NOT get it here. AND, the catalogue toy costs more money, so there is not really any comparison. Still, I think a better description of the product on this site would help customers be sure what they are getting.

All in all, I think we will be keeping this out long after Christmas!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great tool for teaching about Jesus Christ's birth December 22, 2002

My 1 1/2 year old daughter just received this as a gift and she loves to make it play "Away in a Manger". This is a very durable toy, like all Little People products. I am grateful that companies take time to make toys that help our children learn about our Savior, Jesus Christ. Although she is too young to understand the Christmas story right now, this toy will be around for a long time to help her father and I teach her about Jesus' birth. Have a Blessed Christmas!
