The Story of Christmas (Paperback)

In this picture-book version of the Christmas story, children take part in a nativity play and act out the events that took place in Bethlehem, long ago.;Dressed in colourful costumes, children play the parts of the biblical characters surrounded by lambs, donkeys, and other animal favourites that help to make each scene memorable - the shepherds on a hillside watching over their sheep, the three wise men on their journey across the desert, and Mary and Joseph in the stable with their new-born child.;The story is retold in a simple lyrical style which should be easy to read aloud, and the pictures should help inspire children to put on their own nativity play.
