Books with title Bed for Baby Jesus

A special baby has been born tonight, but where can he possibly be? Join the shepherd boy, Gabriel, on Christmas night as he goes in search of the newborn king and finds him in the most unlikely place. Each page of this highly engaging board book contains a “door” progressively smaller than the last, which gives the illusion of journeying deeper and deeper into the environment.

The story of the birth of Christ in a manager, the star that stood overhead, the coming of the wise men to worship him, the flight into Egypt - all of us know this story. In truth there is little more to know. Only the Gospels of Matthew and Luke mention these events. We want to know more, and painters and poets have used their imagination to enrich the narrative, to give us more detail and a more vivid reality. This is not a work of theology, but instead a gathering of lovely images and evocative writing on Christ's infancy.

Explore the concept of faith in an approachable way with this fantastic board book that retells the Christmas story. The colourful tabs, which feature a character or object poking out from between the pages, give children a clue to the rest of the scene and prompt a chance for them to pick a favourite. With whimsical illustrations and child-friendly text, it's sure to become an instant favourite with preschoolers and parents alike.
