Christmas Board Book

Christmas in the Manger by Nola Buck is a great Christmas board book for infants and toddlers. The book features several of the main "players" in the Christmas story.  There is the star, several animals, the shepherds, the wise men, Mary and of course Baby Jesus.

Each "character" in the story of Christmas is accompanied by a short rhyme and a picture.  The rhymes are very to the point, which makes this book a perfect teaching tool for younger children about the reason for Christmas. One of the rhymes goes like this, "I am the baby asleep in the hay, and I am the reason for Christmas Day."

My little boy loves to read this book. He enjoys finding the shiny star displayed on different pages throughout the book.  We also like to play a "where is game?"  Basically I will say something like, "Where is Baby Jesus?" and he will flip through the pages until he finds what I asked for.

Is there a Christmas board book that you enjoy reading with your youngest readers?

Happy Reading!
