The Friendly Beasts

by Rebecca St James

Starting with a sparkly textured cover I’m already excited. As a song that I have loved from my childhood Christmas memories I’m looking forward to sharing this with my girls again and again. I will definitely be wanting to get my hands on a real copy. The illustrations bring the song and story to life and each page provides images worth examining and imagining. I have to say though that I’ve never seen a blonde version of Mary, so that was unique.

The CD has four tracks including Rebecca singing The Friendly Beasts, a bonus track of her song Shine Your Glory Down, and these are followed by an almost three minute piece of Rebecca’s Christmas memories and then lastly a spoken narration of the book/song. It is lovely to listen to and I’m delighted to have experienced it. She has, of course, a lovely voice and does it quite elegant justice.

This would make a fabulous Christmas gift!
