This little book is perfect for the early reader or for parents to read to a young child. Here, in about 200 words, is an intorduction to the character of Mary, her visitation by the angel Gabriel, her betrothal to Joseph, the long journey to Bethlehem, and the miraculous night of Jesus' birth and the arrival of the three wise men.
It was a nice picture book, but it cracked me up that the first could couple of pages puts Mary right in the middle seam of the book. Not a fan of Christmas books perpetuating the myth that the wise men showed up on Christmas - they come when Jesus was two years old.
