Baby Jesus is Born Sticker Book

We gave these as gifts to children in our playgroup this year, and I'm really happy with the purchase! There are 2 double-spread pages of stickers, so quite a lot for the kids to do, and this gave it instant-appeal in the eyes of the children. But the story is great too. It's an accurate re-telling, with no strange additions (like so many children's Christmas story books!), and it's quite comprehensive. The illustrations are bright and fun, and there isn't too much text on each page. The only down-side of this book for me, is that it doesn't include a statement about why Jesus came. But a simple gospel message does come out in the angel's words """"Tonight a special baby has been born in Bethlehem. He will save his people!""""

This paperback book is approximately 20. 5cm square. It has 12 pages of story and 4 pages of stickers. The image on the story pages take up about four fifths of the page with 3 or 4 lines of text at the bottom. The images contain a fadded portion indicating which sticker should be stuck where. I think this is more usable for younger children then the page reference method of some other sticker books. The story includes these points, Mary visited by Angel, Soldiers give notice about counting, Staying in stable, Baby is born, Angel appears to shepherds, Shepherds visit baby, Kings see star and travel to visit baby with gifts. \\r\\nThe language is simplified: count not census. I plan to give this to 3and4 year olds at our church playgroup.
