Book Thoughts: The Story of Baby Jesus (Davidson)

  • part of “An Alice in Bibleland” series
  • a girl visits Bible times and observes the night of Jesus’ birth
  • magic mentioned*
  • sweet illustrations

Type: picture book
Ages: 2-6
Author: Alice Joyce Davidson
Illustrator: Victoria Marshall

*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. 🙂
