Books with title The Dinosaur's First Christmas

Based on the iconic The Night Before Christmas, The First Christmas introduces young children to the first Christmas and the birth of Jesus. Through simple rhyming words and pictures, the poem helps young ones visualize the events that took place in Bethlehem all those many years ago.The First Christmas follows Mary and Joseph as they prepare for the birth of their child in a stable. It shares the miracle of Jesus’ arrival as it’s celebrated by angels and shepherds.

This book tells the story of the birth of Jesus, from the angel’s visit to Mary to the flight to Egypt. It is very simple and straightforwardly faithful to the Bible accounts in Matthew and Luke. The charming pencil and watercolour illustrations by Sophie Allsopp respectfully complement the great story, adding detail and warmth that will be appreciated by adult and child alike. This little hardback is a beautiful but very accessible presentation of the familiar nativity story which makes a lovely Christmas gift.

In a buoyant story filled with ewe-morous puns, a multicolored sheep who loves Christmas inspires a seasonal ritual.There are two things everyone knows about Hillary the sheep. One is that, unlike her typically hued friends, Hillary’s wool is all the colors of the rainbow. The other is that she adores everything about Christmas, especially Santa. So when word gets out that Mr. Claus is traveling across Ireland seeking the perfect sheep’s wool for a sweater to keep his belly warm, Hillary’s head begins to spin. Could her wool-dest dreams be about to come true? Featuring a news-loving starling named Didya, a jelly-bean-obsessed farmer, and a choir of Elvish Presley–singing elves, this sweetly comical tribute to the season will find its place among kid-pleasing holiday traditions. Already a bestseller in Ireland, it offers a welcome humorous spin on the holidays and a strong female protagonist.

What began as an ordinary, star-filled night of shepherds watching over their flocks ended with something SPECTACULAR AND DEFINITELY EXTRA-ORDINARY! I never tire of reading the Biblical account in Luke of the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This poem of the event from the shepherds’ point of view is my way of bringing it to life for children of all ages—including the “young at heart.” May the Lord be glorified in this effort!

With Rudolph and Santa and Frosty around, it's easy for little ones to forget, or never to learn, the true meaning of Christmas. Based on an old German folktale, "The First Christmas Tree" is a charming and delightful tale of the scrawny and forlorn little pine that was chosen for the most important job on earth, to cradle the King of Kings. Beautifully written and creatively illustrated, Lucille Connor Oliver's enchanting story is one that will become a favorite at Christmastime and a true family classic all through the years.
