The very first Ladybird book ever was produced by a jobbing printer called Wills & Hepworth during the First World War. The company, based in Loughborough, Leicestershire, began to publish 'pure and healthy literature' for children, registering the Ladybird logo in 1915. Despite the company's claims, however, those books would no longer be politically correct. In the ABC Picture Book, for example, A stood for armoured train!

First sentence: Lights are starting to twinkle, and there is festive cheer all around us...The Christian festival of Christmas has arrived! At Christmas, Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus, who they believe is the Son of God. The story of Jesus's birth is called the nativity. Children often take part in special plays to remember this story. There is always lots to prepare before Christmas day. Christmas is a festival of gift-giving, and many choose to give presents to charity.
This board book is ONE in a series of board books about festivals. Other books in the series include or soon will include: Ramadan, Easter, and Hanukkah. It is not written from a Christian perspective necessarily more a neutral, almost bland objective one. For better or worse. It is what it is.
The book introduces readers to elements of the Christmas season that might be more tied to a Christian observance of Christmas. I think this is a good choice. This isn't about Santa, reindeer, making cookies, or shopping.
It is NOT in any way a book that focuses on the nativity itself, on WHO Jesus is, of WHY he came, of WHY this changes everything.
It is matter of fact, a bit bland, definitely basic.
