Best bit:

The fun, quirky, colourful pictures and well rhyming text, describes the birth of Jesus taking place in a house, which from what I’ve read elsewhere, is more likely than a stable. The book describes this in detail using awesome pictures, and really helps us imagine we were there.

Worst bit:

Bible text at the back (useful) is NIVUK, which maybe isn’t the best version for the age group of children who will like this book. Not a deal breaker though.

All the Lost Sheep Book series, of which this is part, have a Cecil’s Page at the back which gives ideas for adults to do before, during and after reading the book, making it even more useful.

This book would even make a good story telling as part of an event, and online there are loads of additional materials to go with it. Definitely worth a look.
