The Baby Bible
Christmas Storybook introduces your child to the Christmas story
with bright, colorful pictures, simple prayers and suggested actions
to bring the stories to life. The sixteen short stories bring
parents and children together to learn the wonderful story of
Christmas in an interactive manner.
I really enjoyed this
Christmas storybook. The illustrations were wonderful and
brought the Christmas story to life. They are bright, vivid and
easy to see. My daughter was constantly pointing and naming
objects, actions and places or animals. The book itself is
unique because it gives suggested hand motions under each line in the
story for parents to interact with their children. Here is an
example:
Joseph knocked on the
inn door
[Knock, knock, knock]
He looked for a place to stay in
Bethlehem
[Look high and low]
Every room was full
[Shake
your head: no room]
At last they stayed in a warm stable.
[Ask:
What animals live in a stable?]
Each “chapter” of this
book has different movements or prompting questions to encourage
parents and children to interact with the story. Ideally this
makes the book perfect for children 0-5 years of age. The book
also includes a prayer at the end of each “chapter”. For
example:
Chapter: A Long
Trip
Story: Trip to Bethlehem
Prayer: Dear God, keep us safe
when we travel. Amen
Chapter: A Manger
Bed
Story: Jesus bed of hay
Prayer: Dear God, thank you for my
own bed. Amen
Chapter: Listen to
This
Story: Sheppard’s tell of Jesus birth
Prayer: Dear God,
show me who to tell about Jesus. Amen
The prayers are simple and
easy. They are perfect for children who are learning all about
God’s world around them. I would recommend this Bible
Christmas Storybook for children ages 0-5. Both my two and four
year old enjoy reading it and are able to get different lessons and
enjoyment from the stories. This simple book has quite a lot to
offer. I was very impressed. The last page has a guide
for “Baby Bible moments together” to help parents get the most
from their time spent with this book. I appreciated this extra
touch.
