PreS-Gr 2-This story of Jesus's birth begins with the angel Gabriel's appearance to Mary and proceeds through the journey to Bethlehem and the visitation to the manger by the shepherds and wise men. The straightforward retelling is made accessible to beginning readers through its controlled vocabulary, large print, and brief text. It also makes a good read-aloud for young children. The cartoonlike watercolor paintings nicely complement the presentation with just enough detail to flesh out the simple narrative. A joyful and readable introduction to the Nativity.-M.W.
