Books with title My First Christmas Treasury

"The pictures were gorgeous and reminded me of an old fashioned Christmas. Many of the tales are classic tales but the illustrations used makes the stories unique again. Very enjoyable and I can see many families enjoying this one." — Fallsburg LibraryThis lovely holiday anthology features seasonal classics from the turn of the twentieth century. Recounted in verse, the tales feature quaint color illustrations by popular children's artists of the era such as Margaret Evans Price, W. F. Stecher, Raphael Tuck, and others. Heartwarming tales include:"The Night Before Christmas,"Clement C. Moore's timeless poem about a visit from St. Nicholas; "Father Christmas,"a celebration of plum pudding, Jack Frost, snowmen, and other holiday delights;"How Santa Filled the Christmas Stockings,"in which a little boy discovers the pitfalls of greed; "A Visit to Santa Claus,"the story of Teddy's trip in his glider to Santa's workshop; "Polar Bear at the Zoo,"in which Teddy and his flying machine return to the North Pole with a polar bear; and "Christmas ABC,"charming verse couplets that spell out Yuletide treats.

The story of the birth of Jesus Christ is told by Zeke, Joseph's faithful and hardworking donkey. Zeke spins his tale in playful verse, telling of the events that lead up to the wonderous moment of the birth of baby Jesus. As he tells us at the end of his story, "'Twas a night to remember, I'll never forget, When Jesus the Christ child and I first met."First Christmas is beautifully illustrated by Adel Nasief, an accomplished Coptic Christian artist who lives and works in Alexandria, Egypt. His twenty-one iconic paintings bring the story alive as never before, giving Zeke's poetic narrative both depth and dignity. First Christmas will delight adults and children alike. It is the perfect story for families to share each Christmas; the perfect story to read to children before they go to bed on Christmas Eve; the perfect story to remind us all of the real meaning of Christmas. Beautifully printed with a fifth color gold throughout, with a cloth hardcover with a hand-tipped image and foil stamping and written in anapestic tetrameter - the same upbeat, and rhyming rhythm of "The Night Before Christmas" and much of the poetry of Dr. Seuss - First Christmas is destined to become an instant Christmas classic.
