My 5 year old daughter adores this book and has chosen it as her favourite book to take to school. She says "The pictures are so beautiful; every page you turn there is something beautiful to see. And the words are so good, they make you feel as though it's all really real and you can imagine it happening just as it's written" and I don't suppose I can say it any better. The story is sweet - Zillah wants to take a special present to baby Jesus but she's never quite fast enough at thinking or flying. But in the end, by persevering, she still ends up bringing the most important present of all.
