Su questo libro

Recensione:

French's simple yet reverent retelling of the biblical account of Jesus' birth is an excellent choice for very young children... The acrylics star a kindly cast with sweet smiles and shining black-dot eyes; the tone is friendly from cover to cover.
—Publishers Weekly

The cartoonlike watercolor paintings nicely complement the presentation with just enough details to flesh out the simple narrative. A joyful and readable introduction to the Nativity.
—School Library Journal
