This is a nice 32 page paperback book with colorful illustrations that tells the story of The First Christmas in a easy read for children. I originally requested this book thinking that it would be great to read to my four grandchildren aged 1 1/2 to 6 years old. This book is definitely for for small children but I think that for preschool age children it is a little to advance for them. My six year old grandson enjoyed me reading the book to him and I also think older children will enjoy it. The book tells the main story of the birth of Jesus. It is a complete account of the Nativity Story.
It included conversation starters or questions on each page that would enable the adult reader to check the child's understanding of each part of the book. These questions will help the reader engage with the child and interact with them. There is also a fun quilt activity that is included at the end of the book.
This book was provided as a complimentary copy through BookCrash for my honest review. This book can be purchased at http://honeycombadventures.com/books and also from http://amazon.com/First-Christmas-Janice-D-Green/dp/0983680825

Thank you for the review. You are right, it is better for children who are a little older. I find when I share this book with the youngest age children I simply share the story by talking with them about the pictures.
