This is a beautifully illustrated book. There are the typical inconsistencies with Scripture that all Christian Christmas books seem to have (all that I’ve read, to be specific). You can find those discussed in my blog post, called “Five Common Myths in Christmas Picture Books.” But, besides that, it’s a sweet book that can be sung to if you wish!
