The First Christmas

When young readers open up the doors to this small stable in Bethlehem, they'll discover a delightful board book, a whole cast of cutout characters, and a panorama of Jesus' birth for hours of reading and play. Kids can read the story of the nativity in The Baby in the Manger and recreate the story for themselves with cutouts of Jesus, Mary, Joseph, shepherds, angels, and more in this colorful Christmas collection.
