Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The soft, creamy tones of Bernardin's (The Legend of the Candy Cane) oil paintings welcome readers to ancient Bethlehem for this familiar biblical account of the Nativity. His depiction of the angel's nighttime appearance to shepherds in the fields conveys the awe associated with the event yet to come, and portraits of beatific faces adoring the Christ child are also pleasant to behold. But on the whole, there is little to distinguish this book among many other editions in the marketplace. All ages.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-This book opens with the tax levied by Caesar Augustus and ends with the shepherds spreading the word of what they have seen. Although readers meet Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus, the focus is on the shepherds, two men and a boy, as they react with amazement and joy to their experiences; the endpapers show them working their flock on a peaceful hillside. The paintings give a vivid sense of the landscape around Bethlehem and portray the people in a realistic and moving way. This is a fine choice if you need more Nativity stories.-E. M.
