This book retells and summarizes the Biblical story in a concise way for the younger crowd. It is well-written and accurate in what it tells. It probably won't hold the attention of the younger crowd as my 4 yo boy and 2 yo girl weren't interested. However, my 7-year-old daughter enjoyed it thoroughly.

I simply love this wonderful Christmas story as did my children. I have now begun reading it to my granddaughter. It is the gospel story for children told in an enlightened way... a classic, must read for all ages. The pictures are also stunning! The story is about a young mountian boy is cought alone in a sudden snowstorm, he takes refuge in a cabin his grandfather helped build many years before. The woman living there shelters the boy. during the hours they are snowbound she tells the Christmas story--beginning with creation and concluding with the resurrection.

I've read this book to my children on Christmas Eve every year since the oldest were little. It's become a family tradtion. This is a wonderfully told version of the Christmas story, holding even my wiggliest boy's attention. We recently lost it in a fire so I was THRILLED to be able to get it back through PBS.
