Retells the story of the birth of Jesus, with lift-the-flap illustrations that gradually reveal the unfolding events.
Christmas and the story of Jesus' birth is magical on it's own and sharing books like this changing-picture book of The First Christmas allows a family experience of that magic. Every other page alternates with the text of the story and then a picture that will change with the opening of a flap (much like a pop-up book where something moves). It is creative and gorgeous. This is another one that with supervision AppleBlossom already enjoys and I know that it will be a treasured book each year and in the months in between while we share the story of what Christmas really is about.
