Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Mayper's poetic, joyous description of Jesus' birth bubbles with all the exuberance of a child opening gifts on Christmas morning. Shepherds hurry through the streets and wake a sleeping village to "Come see/ Come out and see" the baby who has "made the world new." Smiling children, families and respectful animals quietly gather in the stable to adore the newborn, then proclaim, "It's a time for joy and feasting!" Schuett's (Somewhere in the World Right Now) creamy, textured paintings of humble people dancing in the starlight say it all. Ages 3-8. (Oct.)

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2-Angels awaken shepherds, who in turn rouse the townsfolk and travelers, so that all may gather to see the newborn baby Jesus. Readers follow the people and animals as they make their way to the manger to admire the child. All the while, Mayper's poetic invitation carries the same refrain, "Come see," with slight variations in the second line. The simple text is particularly accessible to young children who are just learning about the Nativity. Internal rhymes with an unstudied rhythm keep the sentences flowing as a crowd gathers outside the stable. Schuett's double-paged illustrations are full of soothing, saturated colors, plus some touches of bright yellow and gold to provide a nice contrast and lend extra sparkle to the night. Men, women, children, and animals greet the baby with wide smiles. They join hands and form a large circle surrounding the stable and "all begin to dance." A peaceful and satisfying presentation.-M.M.H.

5.0 out of 5 stars A story of hope and celebration!, November 14, 1999
By A Customer
Come and See is a unique and remarkable telling of the birth ofChrist as seen through the eyes of children. A story of hope andcelebration, the excitement of this event is felt by the reader as the children issue the invitation to come and see and dance.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Christmas story centered on the shepherds and villagers, December 7, 2004
By Christina Walton (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of the shepherds and some townspeople searching Bethlehem for baby, finding him, and celebrating with a meal of milk and bread and dancing. It isn't very clear on why this baby is special, but it does say "Come see the world made new. The same old world, but new." In fact, it never uses the words "Christ" or "Jesus" but the holy family will be unmistakable to those familiar with THE Christmas Story. On the whole, a beautiful addition to a Christmas library.

1.0 out of 5 stars expected the REAL Christmas story, January 28, 2009
By Trina (California) - See all my reviews
Just be aware if you purchase this book that it is not the Christmas story in the Bible. At the end of the story all the townsfolk who have crowded the barn have a time of "joy and feasting" and dance around the barn in the starlight. Not what I was looking for.
