The first Christmas present was given by a father, wrapped by a mother, and surrounded by singing. If that sounds like any Christmas presents your child might be anticipating, then this book will be a nice accompaniment to help your child connect giving and receiving gifts today with the very first Christmas present. (SPOILER ALERT... it was Jesus.) Story by Marilyn Sommerer. The pictures, by Johanna van der Sterre, include a family setting up their nativity set. Any child from a home that does the same will be thrilled to see this happen in a book. Reading Level: Age 4 and Up.
