I was a school librarian years ago, and am glad to see that teachers are now using this great book in the classroom. It covers the birth of Christ without apology, with humor in respect to the children in the "out of step" family, without ridicule. And the adults I've passed it to each year get belly laughs aloud. One friend didn't want to give the time to reading this short book, and so watched the movie, which I don't recommend.

I bought this on a recommendation from a friend and I was not dissapointed! Written from the view point of the daughter of this year's pagent organizer, the book is chock full of humor and 10 year old life as she knows it. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with small children AND who wishes to instill real critical thinking into them. The book teaches the younger (and maybe older) audience how looking at things differently may take a little patience and a little tolerance to others who are just learning the meaning of the season. I plan to make it a Christmas tradition at our house for the grandkids...wish I had known about it in time for the kids!
If you want to find the warmth of Christmas again read this book. Humous and touching. We keep buying copies for people so they can make this book a reading in their home each Christmas.

I had this book in my classroom library. I had to replace it constantly because someone would borrow but not return it. I taught middle school kids and they loved this book. I now have a granddaughter that is in first grade and I want her to have these books too - they're so much fun to read - and envision!!!
