Other editions of book The Christmas Story

Hope and joy radiate from the pages of Robert Sabuda’s new pop-up book celebrating the Nativity.Long ago in the town of Bethlehem, on a bright and starry night, a baby was born, a child who was called the son of God. Announced by an angel, born in a humble manger, laid in a bed of straw, visited by shepherds and wise men—the age-old, awe-inspiring story of the birth of Jesus is lovingly brought to life by master pop-up artist Robert Sabuda in six gorgeously imagined scenes, culminating in a 3-D manger sheltering humans and beasts, guarded by an angel above. Glinting with touches of gold and pearlescent foil, The Christmas Story is a visual feast, a holiday treasure to be shared with the whole family.

The Annunciation, Mary and Josephs journey to Bethlehem and the birth of Jesus, the angel appearing to the shepherds, Magi travelling from the East, and the Holy family in the stable surrounded by kings, shepherds and animals: the nativity story is told here in simple words and six magnificent scenes, created in white and gold against coloured backgrounds by the pop-up artist Robert Sabuda.
