Song Of The Stars: A Christmas Story (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
This is a phenomenal story ... about the nativity ... told in simple words so children can understand it, but also in an exciting way that made it enjoyable for me. Fantastic kids book ... I can hardly wait to read it to my grandsons.Read this again to my Sunday School class as we finished up our Christmas season with a lesson about the wise men. While the children were eating their snack (wise men riding camels made of animal crackers, ham slices, oyster crackers, and yellow cheese) I read them this story ... and loved it again just as much as I had last year. A beautiful book written by Sally Lloyd Jones, which tells the story of the excitement that all life felt with Jesus Christ was born. All different kinds of animals appear in this story from lions, to fish in the sea, to bugs in a meadow. Even the grass and trees join in on the excitement. This is a classic story told in many homes during the holiday season and this book is a great way to show a different perspective of that story to children. The story is written with a rhyme so it is like the skies, animals, everything is singing. Even though the words in this book hold great meaning, I think it is the illustrations that carry this book. Alison Jay did a wonderful job portraying each scene with the animals. Each illustration looks like an old painting that has cracked over time, but the colors had remained.I would recommend this book to families and children of all ages. It’s a great book to read every year during the Christmas season. Jones, S., & Jay, A. (2011). Song of the stars: a Christmas story. Grand Rapids, MI: Zonderkidz.
