5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic christmas book, 13 Dec 2003
This is a truly wonderful little book. The pictures are wonderfully life-like and the poetic text, leading the reader through the Christmas story, beautifully written. This little book is a pleasure to read for adults as well as children. I have bought several copies of this book for friend's children and they all absolutely love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Christmas book., 11 Dec 2003
By A Customer
The illustrations in this book are truely beautiful and incredibly life-like. The narative is simple and poetic but profound in telling the Christmas story. I would warmly recommend this as a great book to sit down and read with children over the Christmas period, and you'll love it too! A real 'gem' revealing the true meaning of Christmas in verse and art.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the Star, 10 Dec 2003
This review is from: This Is the Star (Voyager Books) (Paperback)
In my opinion this is the most stunning nativity book ever! The paintings are weighty with wonder and mystery. You find yourself gazing more and more into the scenes before you. You feel like you're there - at least you want to be! The kings - WOW! Tiny Jesus lying in the straw ... amazing. What a fantastic book. HIGHLY recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Christmas story beautifully written and illustrated.
This is just the job for reading to a young child. Each page adds more story content in increasing steps, while keeping the difficulty of the text at an easily understood level... Read more
