Although the paintings in this book are beautiful, I have issues with the story-line. The author writes about forest animals going to see the baby Jesus. As far as I know, there are no badgers, warthogs, bobcats, or hedgehogs living around Bethlehem. The Navitity story is important. I understand about artistic license, but I would rather the author have found native animals that would have traveled to see the newborn child.
Simple, easy read child's book about Jesus and the Christmas story. Beautiful illistrations. I highly recommend it.
