Amazing

This is such a wonderful book. It not only has a moving story, but becomes a beautiful decoration. I have gotten several of these as gifts for friends and would highly recommend them to anyone for any age.

Beautiful book!

This book looks more like a piece of art than a pop-up book. The three dimentional cut-work pages are masterfully done.

Beautiful, beautiful

The book was above my expectations. Such a lovely idea to display the Nativity story. I'm going to order another. Great service!

Amazing

This is an absolutely incredible book. My parents gave me this book and I loved it. Then one Sunday I used it for the Children's Sermon at church. My phone absolutely rang off the hook with people asking me where they could purchase this book. It is a treasure for adults and children alike!

Absolutely beautiful book...

I loved this book so much I ordered 15 copies to send to my closest family as my Christmas Card. The book opens to reveal 5 lovely silhouette cutouts of the nativity. It opens so completely so that the front and back cover meet together and tie to form a 5 sided star shaped hanging sculpture. Very beautiful! I highly recommend this book. It would make a great table centerpiece as well as hanging decoration. My children were thrilled with our copy.
