*In each of the Alice books, she magically enters a storybook and visits a different Bible story. Magic is not mentioned beyond this moment.
We love this darling series with its well-written rhymes. Just know that it’s like every other Christian Christmas book and has inaccuracies, such as Joseph and Mary traveling alone, how she gave birth the night she arrived in town, etc. We would have no books if we avoided those, so we just enjoy it for what it is while also maintaining familiarity with the true biblical account. 🙂
