Since Christmas is such a captivating time of year, it’s the perfect setting for telling children about the miracle of the Lord Jesus Christ’s birth. Using selected passages from the first chapters of the gospels of Matthew and Luke, Christmas Time – It’s All About Jesus tells the story of Jesus’ birth in a delightfully poetic and child-like way. The sensational illustrations create an unforgettable image, so a child can always remember the true meaning of Christmas.
As an added bonus, Pastor Russ and Sue have developed devotionals to be used by families to enrich their Christmas celebrations. These are complete with attributes and names of Jesus, questions for discussion, and activities to do as a family to share Christ with those around them. Coupled together, this story and devotionals will enhance your celebration of Christmas during the season and all year long!
Christmas Time is a nice book geared toward 3-8 year olds. The rhyming meter is catchy for the preschooler to want to listen to the story and easy for the beginning reader to take on reading the book by them self. The true message of Christmas is very much in this book. I'm a believer in making sure children know what Christmas is really all about. This book definitely qualifies. I also like the fact that there are pages at the end of the book to use as resource tools for understanding the true meaning and celebration. The illustrations are big and bold and fun loving. I like the way the words wave across the page they aren't in one straight line. You can take a peek inside the book here.
