Review

This is a reissue, original c.1984,the first Christmas, combining the books of Luke and Matthew, it is beautifully illustrated. The language is well suited for the intended audience of grades 3-6.It seems to have a more secular look with holly and reindeer. In a few places the text seem to run over to the next page when there seems to be room on the preceding page. This edition does not have a dust jacket. If you need to update your copy, this is beautiful.

Overall Book Score: very good
