Do You See What I See?
In this book, a mother cat has lost her baby kitten and is frantically searching high and low in a stable for it. Just as she finds it in the animal’s feeding tough–the manger–the stable door swings open, and in come a man and a woman. The mother cat wastes no time grabbing her baby and getting it out of the way. She then retreats with the kitten to a hiding place, where they, along with the rest of the stable animals, observe the first Christmas, the birth of Christ. This search for a lost and then found kitten is a sweet tale that neatly intertwines the Christmas story along with it. The children I have been involved with have all loved a story-line that involves wondering where something is, the search for that something and then the joy finding of it. This tale also includes the legend that every Christmas, cats pass down to each other their account of witnessing Jesus’ birth in the stable.
This darling hardback book is over-sized, contains pictures on each page and is geared toward small children. A Christmas symbol list is included on the last three pages with short explanations of their origin. This book provides many opportunities for lots of interaction to take place. For instance, it would be fun to talk with the child about the way Christmas is celebrated in their home, what the Bible says about the birth of Jesus, as well as, input from the child about the story. This 5-star book can be read at Christmas-time, and throughout the year. It will provide a nice experience for both the reader and the child listening to it.
I’d like to thank the author and Book Crash for providing me with a complimentary copy of this book for the purpose of review. All opinions expressed are my own, and I was not required, or influenced, to give anything but an honest appraisal.
