Books with title The First Christmas

"How did the elves first meet Santa? The believable story reads like a traditional tale, and the detailed paintings of elves at work and play are filled with tiny details that make their world convincing. Kids will enjoy this view of the North Pole's shortest residents."—Kirkus ReviewsAtsuko Morozumi grew up in Japan. She graduated from the Royal College of Art in London and is now a major children's artist published in over twenty countries. Her first book, One Gorilla, was on the New York Times list for "10 Best Illustrated Books of the Year."

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.
