More:

This is a simple, Biblically accurate rhyming re-telling of the Christmas story, including Jesus being laid in a manger (but no mention of the stable) and Mary and Joseph taking their offering to the temple and meeting Simeon and Anna.  It’s short and simple, and is a good way to introduce the Christmas story to young children, and the artwork is lovely: clear, fun and giving lots of story details in a visual way, which is so essential for young children.

The book is also available as a board book and colouring book as well as in pack for as little as £1 per book!
