Title: Christmas Love Letters From GodAuthor: Glenys Nellist and Rachel Clowes
Genre: Christian, Children's, Christmas, Bible Stories,
Plot: Telling the Christmas story of Jesus' birth is a long-held tradition and this book is a beautiful new addition. Beginning with Isiah's prophecy and ending with the Wise Men, this book covers the classic tale in a lovely new way for children.
Written in a story form with poetry and a short verse that children could memorize if they wanted, this little gem will delight children everywhere and the best part is the little letters from God accompanying each story that can personalized by adding the child's name. And at the back is a longer envelope for the child to write their very own letter to God. Colorful, unique and just right for the targeted age range. This is a Christmas gift you will want to get and then share with everyone you know.
Likes/Dislikes: The targeted age range is 4-7 year olds, so my almost 3 year old was interested in the pictures and the love letters but didn't want to sit still long enough for the whole story to be read. That's okay; I intend to save it for her and her sister. The colors are all bright and lovely with cute animals and little embellishments like holly on one page, etc. and the stories were short, simple and sweet. I liked the Bible verse and the poetry bits particularly. The pictures had a sort of felt cut out look to them which seemed odd to me but they weren't weird like other books I've read. All in all, very cute.
Rating: G-5 and up. Highly recommended.
