the King and Queen! Andy Seed's hilarious text brings these crazy
but true stories to life, as he tells readers tales about massive

board book, an ideal introduction to the nativity story for young
children. The Christmas Story tells the tale of the first Christmas
a long, long time ago, when the baby Jesus was born. The sky is

and the three wise men that someone very special has arrived.
There's no room at the inn but Mary and Joseph, and sleeping baby
Jesus, are warm and cozy in the stables. Colorful illustrations and
engaging text bring this classic story to life for new readers.
Little ones will love pointing out details in the pictures of
Nazareth and Bethlehem, and naming all the animals in the stable
where the baby Jesus was born. The Christmas Story is perfect for
reading aloud during the festive season and beyond.
