Christmas in the Manger

This product is a great product to teach children about Christmas. The kids can handle the different people without tearing them up. This set is a great tool in teaching the meaning of Christmas.

It is an adorable and straightforward story about the birth of Christ. Beautifully done, my toddler loved it and understood the different roles the animals and people played. I wish they had included Joseph's role in this story. Unfortunately, he was not mentioned.

This board book shares the important people and characters in the Christmas story. Its basic and rhyming text flows easily for young ones. The simple pictures add to the sweet story. I wish I had ordered more copies!

Nice book to introduce the true meaning of Christmas. Colorful and illustrated well.

Pros:- simple, yet lovely rhymes- sweet illustrations- short enough book to keep toddlers interested- great introduction to Christmas that parents can expand onCons:- none, though I know some people are picky about the wise men being shown “at the birth” since that’s not accurate. (I am one of those picky ones). But they are part of the birth story of Jesus and so I’m glad this book included them.

This is such a great purchase for our 17 month old!

Simple and sweet rhymes for the star, donkey, ram, ox, shepherds, wise men, mary, and "the baby".Disappointed that Jesus' name isn't actually used, nor is his identity as the son of God explicitly stated ("the only son" alludes to it I suppose). Joseph is literally in the background of Mary's page but doesn't get identified. I agree with other reviewers that it could have easily said "I am baby Jesus, asleep in the hay...". I think it would be pretty easy for a parent to come up with a few more rhymes and simple doodles to tack on whatever one found lacking. And aside from shepherds, our Little People nativity set goes well with it!

Such an adorable read for baby around Christmas time. My baby loved the story and i will cherish reading it to him
