O Little Town of Bethlehem

by Ron Berry, Chris Sharp (Illustrator), Smart Kidz (Editor)

O Little Town of Bethlehem celebrates the birth of Jesus through the joy of a beloved Christmas carol. As you listen to the carol, you can read the ancient story of the first visitors who traveled to Bethlehem to worship the Christ Child. Inspired by this traditional carol, "O Little Town of Bethlehem" features new rhyming verses that give meaning to the wonderful traditions of Christmas and a caroling choir that sings the song. The combination of the children's choir, rhyming verses and charming illustrations will captivate and delight young children.

Beloved Christmas songs with Clear Sound Music Chip Technology board books for children include the loved "O Little Town of Bethlehem."

Just in time for the holidays: wonderful new Christmas titles from Smart Kidz, freshly redesigned with improved sound quality
These beloved children's books now use ClearSound XL Sound Chip Technology, so you get crystal-clear music – along with darling illustrations in the sing-along books. Books have a small on/off switch on the back and they offer free replacement batteries.

Cute illustrations tell the story and the colors jump out at you from dark backgrounds. Appropriate and visually engaging. The book tells in rhyme about the birth in Bethlehem, the shepherds, the three wise men.The star that shown brightly.

The push button for music activation is a "star" with a radiant light. The last page of the book gives the first verse of the beloved Carol with the light of the star shinning down upon the beloved Christ Child.

I highly recommend this as a sturdy, engaging, book and the sound is great!

I bought this last year, but did not review it. We read it countless times last year, it was one my under two daughter loved last year, and at 2 and a half years old she still loves it. (Yes, we have already read it countless times this year and it isn't even December yet. It is the words to the beloved carol and the music plays and lights flash when you open it. You can replace the battery, so it will be a well loved and worn book I am sure.
