Product Description

Review

Praise for 'Teacher Man': 'McCourt has a compulsion to tell us the story of his life, but he does it so well -- modulating beautifully from ventriloquistically exact repro teen-speak to rhapsodic meditations on his midlife crisis -- that one couldn't possibly want him to stop. I wish I could have been in one of his classes.' Sunday Times 'This memoir about teaching is unlike any other I have read: relatively mundane events and incidents shine against that backdrop of that pathetic, abused child.' Francis Gilbert, Sunday Telegraph Praise for 'Angela's Ashes': 'An astonishing book!completely mesmerising -- you can open it almost at random and find writing to make you gasp.' Independent Praise for 'Tis': 'Few will be able to resist this pacey and fluent sequel!McCourt's gift lies not simply in having lived through interesting times, but in having developed his skills as an editor and narrator to produce two fine, funny and moving slices of a past that is not simply Ireland's, but everyone's.' Guardian

Product Description

A beautifully illustrated Christmas story from one of the world's most loved writers. In 'Angela and the Baby Jesus', McCourt revisits his mother's childhood. Set in Limerick at the turn of the century, 'Angela and the Baby Jesus' is the story of the Christmas when Angela was six and concerned about the baby Jesus on the altar of St. Joseph's Church near School House Lane where her family lived. The story is written in the voice in which Frank McCourt's told his internationally bestselling and award winning 'Angela's Ashes'. The story is illustrated by Loren Long. Like Dylan Thomas' 'A Child's Christmas in Wales', it is for readers of all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful Christmas Tale from Frank McCourt, 8 Aug 2008
By John Kwok (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Once more Frank McCourt has delved into his youth - or rather, his mother's - to write a terse, engaging Christmas saga which will remind readers of his Pulitzer Prize-winning "Angela's Ashes". Young Angela Sheehan is six years old, and wonders about the baby Jesus in his crib. This is yet another heart-felt, memorable tale from Frank McCourt that is replete with his crisp, lyrical prose. While I won't predict whether this will be a perennial favorite at Christmas, it should be a most delightful saga enjoyed by everyone this Christmas. The children's edition of "Angela and the Baby Jesus" features excellent art from illustrator Raul Colon; the adult edition features superbly executed illustrations from illustrator Loren Long. Without question, this wee book promises to be a favorite of McCourties (diehard fans of Frank McCourt) and of others interested in the McCourt family saga (Editorial Note: Reposted from Amazon's USA website.).

5.0 out of 5 stars The children loved it, 25 Feb 2008
By Jadi (Manchester) - See all my reviews
I bought this book just before Christmas,and days later had the pleasure of reading it to a class of seven-year-olds. They were fascinated and delighted by the story,as was I.They particularly loved the little boy telling his mother that Angela had the baby Jesus upstairs in the bedroom! And the picture of the little Jesus flying over the wall had the whole class roaring....The end is moving and satisfying. I have a collection of favourite Christmas books for infant classes and this is a very welcome addition. Angela will live on for many more Christmases,thank you Mr. McCourt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for all ages, 17 July 2009
By Dr. A. Hedges "maymz" (Isle of Man) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Angela and the Baby Jesus (Hardcover)
I got this for my daughter, I thought it would be a bit complicated for her (as she is only two) but it was great. She loved the pictures and the CD that came with it and hasn't stopped reading it. The story is christmas from a childs view. Angela is worried that baby Jesus is cold and so takes him from the crib after everyone has gone. She has to get him home and warm but will someone discover her? Definately a good purchase!
