5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning and simple, December 21, 2003

This review is from: Silent Night (Hardcover)

I just bought this book, and I feel confident it will be a cherished keepsake. It's hard to find a book of the Christmas story that is brief enough for the youngest children, but the lyrics to "Silent Night" work beautifully. The illustrations are lovely and the text is very simple and familiar, but eloquent.

I am buying this book because it has a nursing Baby Jesus! Yea! We have it from the library and to my surprise and delight, discovered the beautiful picture of the nursing baby. I love it! It's wonderful to see Mary holding Him since you usually see the baby lying in the manger. It is a beautiful book.
