Book review — The Nativity

Book: The NativityAuthor: Bethan Lycett and Hannah StoutPublisher: 10PublishingRetail Price: £3.99 (buy now)
Review by Sheila Stephen1 minute readNovember/December 2018, page 30

The Nativity

This is an attractive and colourful board book for babies and toddlers covering the basics of the Christmas story in simple rhyme. Interestingly the timeline has the wise men visiting after Simeon and Anna meet the baby Jesus. There is an application at the end of the book. This book also comes in a version for older children, aged 3-5 years, which extends the text to the death of Herod. This version also contains more detailed application. There is also a colouring book which matches the story in the older book and includes words to colour and an application.

The series of three books is attractive and sounds and looks contemporary. A must for Sunday School and Toddler group presents or gifts from grannies!
