When I got older I would read it to myself on Christmas Eve before going to bed. My mother had this book when I was a little girl and I always wanted her to read it to us every Christmas time. I was very excited to be able to buy it this year, so that next year when my baby girl is here for Christmas, I can read it to her and it can be a family keepsake. It is such a beautiful book. I just love the illustrations. And even at a very young age, I would want her to read the authors note at the end that talks about all the symbolism in the pictures.
A lot of Otters. Gwinna 4.Angels on a pin 5.All the way to Lasa & 6. Me and my son love all the books Ms Berger writes, This is a re-telling of the first christmass, but with a very soft tone to it, my son asked me to read this book several times the day it arrive, read it, it's a must.also read other books by Ms Berger,1. Grandfather twilight 2.When the sun Rose 3.
It's just a wonderful book. This is one of our very favorite Christmas books. The pictures are beautiful and dream-like.
This is a great gift for the younger children. My Godmother got me this book for christmas of 1985, and I still love to curl up on the couch on christmas and read it. It tell's a beautiful story with beautiful pictures to help tell the story.
I highly recommend it. What a beautiful story. It is very moving.
