Media Reviews
From The Diocese of Lincoln Children and Youth Office - November 2008 A hard backed A4, this richly illustrated book has thirteen double page spreads, each starting 'Along the road ...', starting with the Annunciation and finishing with the wise men leaving Bethlehem and returning home. As well as the 'Along the road' theme, each stage in the story also contains the phrase '... looked and listened, ... listened and looked.' Mary, Elizabeth, the Shepherds, and the Wise men, all looked and listened and learnt something about God. This book could be given to a child who was an independent reader, or could be used to read to someone who's reading was less advanced, using the 'look and listen' motive to encourage the child to describe the pictures and engage with the Christmas narrative. A very nice looking book. Reviewed by Dave Rose
