Age 4-7

The family is putting on their costumes, getting ready to leave for church and the Christmas pageant rehearsal. With beautiful, realistic illustrations by Daniel Brown and text by Karen Kingsbury, those who read this book will be reminded of what Christmas is truly about as the family rides in their car to church.

I found the pictures and accompanying text heartwarming. I believe that children will relate easily to the message because the people look just like them. This is a wonderful read-to-me book, and not just for young children ages 4 to 7, but for older children as well.

I recommend this book. ... babamarusia

I can't tell you how many times I have listened to this CD, that would be an excellent recommendation in itself. I can also you tell about how I hum and sing along. The best review I can offer, however, are the comments of the many retail customers of Quality Music and Books who have heard the music and bought the CD.

Mary, Thank you for giving me this beautiful CD. With my mom being sick and the long drive to get to her home, I listened to it all the way there and back. it was a real comfort. ... J.
What music are you playing? I want to buy a copy -- make that two. I want to give one to a friend too.


Who's playing those songs? It's beautiful!
Musically Karen Burgman's interpretations are stellar. The beauty of faith in her soul comes through her fingers to the piano, and then to the listener. Karen has an excellent command of the keyboard technically which allows for her to move about the keys with no hindrance to creativity.

Everyday is a good day with Jesus!!!
May your day be blessed. ... babamarusia
