Even though we no longer practice, it is hard to ignore the Christian element of Christmas and nativity scenes displayed in Ireland and other European countries around this time of year. I always enjoyed the nativity story and songs growing up hence why I wanted to share with our four year old. This is a lovely child friendly introduction to the nativity story - Mary and Joseph's journey and the birth of baby Jesus. The illustrations are lovely. Only oddity is the falling snow. All in all this is a lovely book to add to our Christmas collection. Review: The Christmas Story - This book reinforced the Nativity story for my 5yr old Grandson who started school this year. It initiated lots of dialogue about the story of the birth of Jesus, and he was able to relate to the different characters in the story. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 89,030 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 58 in Picture Bibles for Children 81 in Christian Fiction for Children 210 in Bible Stories for Children | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (174) | | Dimensions | 22.2 x 0.4 x 26.7 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0552549371 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0552549370 | | Item weight | 193 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 32 pages | | Publication date | 3 Nov. 2005 | | Publisher | Picture Corgi | | Reading age | 2 - 5 years, from customers | ## Images ![The Christmas Story - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A1DqKGHdxOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely story book for Christmas collection *by O***A on 2 January 2023* Our 4 year old is not christened but we celebrate Christmas and are Irish.
