Review

"The Psalms tell us that the created order now declares the glory of God (Psalms 19 and 65) and that when Jesus returns even the trees will sing for joy (Psalm 96). How fitting, then, to imagine the animals and stars sensing and rejoicing in the coming of Christ the first time. This is a lovely book!" - Tim Keller, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City --Endorsement from Pastor Tim Keller:

"I love Sally Lloyd-Jones's books. I can't wait to read it to my granddaughter." - Kathy Keller --Endorsement from Kathy Keller:

A Family Favorite!

Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2019

We love, love, love this book in our family! It has such gorgeous illustrations! And the text about how Jesus has been born just gives us all the feels. It reminds us how palpable that first Christmas was for the whole Earth. Our 17 month old likes when we read this one dramatically because it has such lyrical text. And she loves the animals! She has lots of Christmas books, but this one is definitely her favorite! She brings it to us over and over to read. My favorite line in the book is about newborn Jesus: “Heaven’s Son sleeping under the stars that he made.”

One of my favorite Christmas books of all time

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2017

One of my favorite Christmas books of all time. I like it better in the regular size though instead of the board book. This was not abridged which was good but the illustrations are so gorgeous that I missed the impact of the pictures in a smaller size.

Lovely, Sweet Story With Good Illustrations

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2019

I gave this to my 2 yr. old granddaughter for Christmas and she immediately let me read it to her. She loves books and 'reads' them over and over. She seemed very pleased. I especially appreciated the board book format, because 2 yr. olds aren't usually very careful about turning pages. This way she can access the book any time she wants and enjoy the illustrations as much as she wants without her mom being worried she'll accidentally tear up the book. Win-win.

Disappointing

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2019

Returning this book. The nativity story is lost in this rendition of that historical event. Not what I was looking for to give to parents to read over and over to their baby. The actual story of the nativity seemed secondary to the whole package. Not sure how this got such raving reviews.

So lovely!

Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2012

I bought this book to read with my toddler before Christmas. She has been engaged in the lovely pictures and points to each animal on each page ("Fox! Fish! Moose." Well, it isn't a moose, but she doesn't know "ox" yet.) I love to read it because the language is so beautiful and the message is so lovely. I appreciate that this version of the Christmas story doesn't tell the exact story we've all heard...instead, it speaks to the anticipation the world feels. It ends with Baby Jesus, but I think for little ones who can't understand all the politics of the human Christmas story, the idea that even the animals were excited can help make the connection.

We are not a super religious family, more spiritual and non-literal, so this Christmas story works well for me.

I LOVE this book, and am buying it for my friends with little ones too.

Beautifully written and stunningly poignant

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2011

Read this book first at the bookstore but did not purchase it, much to my regret. I am a frugal person (it's the economy!) and I just had to have this book in my library, and the libraries of my grandchildren. The story is of how God's creation praised the coming of Yeshua Messiah (Jesus Christ), skipping all the preachiness of so many children's book. Reading this to children let's them come to the conclusion that creation praises its Creator, who came down himself in the form of a baby. I am voting this book as 2011's most beautiful Christmas book. It is also beautiful to read out loud. The words harmonize and flow out of your mouth and into the minds of little ones. The artwork goes way beyond cute, but is original, imaginative, and inspiring. I am buying several copies.

I love books written by Sally Lloyd-Jones. This was a very wonderful book. It is a beautiful book. The art work is wonderful and will thrill young children. Sally Lloyd-Jones is a wonderful writer. I have purchased many of her books and the Jesus Story Book Bible. Love them all. I love to give them as gifts. Her story telling and theology is outstanding. Highly recommend anything she writes.

Great choice for a church reading

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2017

Beautiful story and illustrations! I read this for my church's Christmas story for the children. It was easy to keep the children's attention, even though the story is familiar because the wording and illustrations were so unique. Even the adults told me afterward that they enjoyed listening to this read aloud.

Magical book - everyone should read it

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 6, 2013

A book that tells the magic of Jesus' birth through the animal kingdom and the stars. This helps young children, and older children, understand that God made the world and all that is in it. When Jesus was born this was important to all animals children and adults and the stars guided the whole world.
