This Is the Star

This book is, without a doubt, one of the most wonderful books on my child's bookshelf. The text is a beautiful poem that winds its way through absoulutely riveting, gorgeous illustrations. The book is a work of art, and tells the Christmas story the way it should be told. Young or old, this book grabs your heart and stays with you all year. My three year old still points to the sky and asks "Is THAT the star, Mommy?" -- In a word, this book is PRICELESS.

A must have for the holiday season, December 2000

I do not ordinarily write book reviews, but reading this book has compelled me to send this message. I have never been so moved by a book. The verse is amazing in how it builds you through the story until the beautifully simplistic and meaningful ending. The illustrations are also breathtaking. In a time where Christmas has taken on the symbol of Santa and a sleigh full of toys, this book gives back the true meaning of Christmas. I would recommend this book to anyone. Happy Holidays.

beautiful book

the reviews convinced me to order this book-after reading it I ordered 10 more copies for Christmas gifts for all my fellow "Grandma" friends-it is wonderful. text & pictures are perfect.

Absolutely breathtaking

I have used this book several times in churches in place of a sermon during early Christmas Eve services geared toward children. Not onlyt he children (who could see the pictures) but the adults hung on every word. It is loving, beautiful, quiet, and deeply moving.

Wonderful retelling of the Christmas Story

I have searched everywhere for the Christmas story in terms my young children could understand. The author does a wonderful job with the verse and the repetition from page to page has the children reading along. The illustrations are outstanding. An instant classic in my house.
