Media Reviews
Lovely to read aloud and helps give a sense of place to little ones as you're reading aloud. . . . The night time pictures are well drawn, with a wonderful sense of the light coming from the star in the sky and then the contrast of the dark night with the warmth and glow of the stable. --Bookbag
