Other editions of book The First Noel

Luminous watercolor paintings bring to life the verses of the timeless Christmas carol 'The First Noel.' Certain poor shepherds, this carol confides, were the first to hear news of the world-changing birth in a lowly stable. The beloved story of the birth of Christ is told reverently in 'The First Noel.' The narrative -- from the announcement to the shepherds, to the appearance of the star and the wise men's worship -- is brought to life, verse by verse, by Jody Wheeler's vibrant watercolor paintings. Unlikely to be read without singing aloud, the book also features the sheet music, as well as a brief history of the carol. You will feel as though you are there in the stable, peering at the newborn Christ Child. Ages 4-8.
