Description

The Story of Christmas from the Read and Share™ Bible is a colorful retelling of the birth of Christ and the events surrounding it. Based on the International Children's Bible, this book begins with the birth of John the Baptist. Next comes the angel appearing first to Mary, then to Joseph, the trip to Bethlehem, the birth of Jesus, the angel's announcement to the shepherds, the wise men and their gifts, fleeing to Egypt, and at last heading home to Nazareth. The "Can You Retell the Story" activity at the end of the book is a fun way for children to learn to tell the story themselves.

I look forward to sharing the story of Christmas with my grandchildren, the way I shared it with my own children. “Read and Share The Story of Christmas” by Gwen Ellis has just made this a little bit easier for me. Not only were the pictures simple and wonderful, but a DVD is included. The

stories are told in a simple language that my three year old will be able to understand. They are short enough to keep her engaged. I think what I really enjoyed was placing myself in the shoes of a child reading the book and watching the DVD and knowing how much I enjoyed it. This Christmas.

I really enjoy receiving a book from Thomas Nelson Publishing for the purpose of reviewing it and blogging about it .
