Nursing Baby Jesus!!!!!

I am buying this book because it has a nursing Baby Jesus! Yea! We have it from the library and to my surprise and delight, discovered the beautiful picture of the nursing baby. I love it! It's wonderful to see Mary holding Him since you usually see the baby lying in the manger. It is a beautiful book.

Silent Night

This is the second copy of this book I have bought. The illustrator is a favorite of mine and the book is simply beautiful!

Silent Night

Beautiful illustrations by Thomas Kinkade. Touching book about the birth of the Savior. Traditional Christas Carol "Silent Night" is the text but the illustrations are what make this a great book.

There are many times that people, as a whole, seem to forget what the true meaning of Christmas is. It's not about the gifts, or the commercialism, but about the birth of Christ. SILENT NIGHT, featuring the artwork of Thomas Kinkade Studios, is a subtle reminder that Christmas is truly about giving, and not receiving. SILENT NIGHT uses the words from that oh-so-powerful and well-known song to accompany beautiful illustrations that feature scenes that truly bring to life the spirit of Christmas. Included at the end of the book is the actual sheet music for the song SILENT NIGHT, penned long ago by Josef Mohr. That simple, haunting melody will play in the back of your mind as you focus not just on the gorgeous pictures, but on the meaning behind the Austrian priest's lyrics. A beautiful, priceless book to be shared with your family to remind them about the true meaning of Christmas. Reviewed by: Jennifer Wardrip, aka "The Genius"

Stunning and simple

I just bought this book, and I feel confident it will be a cherished keepsake. It's hard to find a book of the Christmas story that is brief enough for the youngest children, but the lyrics to "Silent Night" work beautifully. The illustrations are lovely and the text is very simple and familiar, but eloquent.
