  The Bible is full of angels, but few of the stories are well known. This book brings the unfamiliar alive in the eyes of the child as it unfolds the delights of how these special messengers bring good news to God's people. The book is based on the adventures of a young boy, George, who won a Christmas angel at the school fair. Carefully wrapping his prize in his hanky and slipping it into his pocket, he takes his angel home to take pride of place on the Christmas tree. George's mum turns the angel in her son's pocket into a pocketful of angels by relating a story each day as they prepare for Christmas. With stories, comments, crafts and prayers on every page, this book is designed to delight every child who supects that angels are a key part of the celebration of the Christmas story. It includes 24 photocopiable craft sheets with full instructions for craft activity.
