I received Christmas in the Barn for this review/feature. Opinions expressed are my own.
From the bestselling author of classics like Goodnight Moon and The Runaway Bunny comes a Christmas story sure to delight generations of new readers. In this reissued edition by Margaret Wise Brown, Christmas in the Barn tells a childlike interpretation of the Nativity story with new full-color illustrations from New York Times bestselling illustrator Anna Dewdney, creator of the Llama Llama series.
This picture book is listed for ages 4 to 8 (but I think it can go even younger than that) and is a great way to share with young children the Nativity story in a way they can understand and enjoy. The text itself is told in rhyme and the illustrations are gorgeous. Anna Dewdney passed away this past September and I know she will be truly missed in the entire children’s literature world. I LOVE her work and will continue to read her books to my kids because that is what she would have wanted! Christmas in the Barn is a book you will want to get out and read to your children every year when the holidays arrive.
