Read and Share: The Story of Christmas

The Story of Christmas from the Read and Share(TM) Bible is a colorful retelling of the birth of Christ and the events surrounding it. Based on the International Children's Bible, this book begins with the birth of John the Baptist. Next comes the angel appearing first to Mary, then to Joseph, the trip to Bethlehem, the birth of Jesus, the angel's announcement to the shepherds, the wise men and their gifts, fleeing to Egypt, and at last heading home to Nazareth. The &quote;Can You Retell the Story&quote; activity at the end of the book is a fun way for children to learn to tell the story themselves.
