"This graceful retelling will serve well as a first storybook about the Nativity, as it goes slightly beyond the basic story of the birth in the stable and gives just enough age-appropriate information for the intended audience. Pleasant, cheery illustrations in a naive style use characters with simple, almost childlike faces and present a calming, optimistic atmosphere overall."
