A wonderfully illustrated retelling of the story of Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus through a delightful holiday tradition: the keeping of an advent calendar. Twenty-four miniature board books are arranged in sequence and nestled in a backer. The books are numbered 1 through 24 and, like the peek-a-boo windows of an Advent calendar, are meant to be opened one-per-day from December first through Christmas Eve. Read in sequence, the full-color four-page books capture the mystery of the first Christmas, from Gabriel's visit to Mary to Jesus' birth in the manger. The Jewel-like books, with gold-thread loops and three different trim sizes, also make memorable ornaments for the Christmas tree. 168,000 copies in print.

A CHILD'S ADVENT CALENDAR AND ACTIVITY BOOK Perfect for preschoolers to age 9. Laid out with 25 days for each day in December (of the 28 days of Advent), your child's TREAT is an invitation into the stable, a look inside the manger, with a corresponding activity including sketching, drawing, coloring and writing. This book contains beautiful pages, graced with sketches of the masters. Your child can take a day by day journey through advent by being invited to draw, trace, color and describe what he/she sees. So, go ahead, get out the crayons, markers, and colored pencils and enjoy the masterpieces from the masters of old! Your young child has room to be creative as he/she discovers all that is found in the crib of the Savior. Daily devotional readings for parents are included to enhance the Advent experience.
