I had the pleasure of reviewing The Story of Christmas by Gwen Ellis. This book is in Thomas Nelson's line of Read and Share stories for children. This book is ideal for young children because of the simplicity of the pictures and the simple sentence structures. There are fewer words on each page and large pictures. There is also a question at the end of each chapter, which is good to engage the children. These questions can be appropriate for an older age child, too. Overall, I feel this would be good for children ages 2-6.
I really enjoyed the DVD that came with the book. The pictures are very child-friendly and colorful. There are also a few coloring pages that are mainly animals that are great for young children.
Overall, I think this would be a great book to help keep children focused on the birth of Jesus for Christmas. That is why I am giving this book a 4 1/2 star. I think the DVD makes the mark a little higher.
