    Synopsis

    The Story of Christmas from the Read and Share™ Bible is a colorful retelling of the birth of Christ and the events surrounding it.

    Based on the International Children’s Bible, this book begins with the birth of John the Baptist. Next comes the angel appearing first to Mary, then to Joseph, the trip to Bethlehem, the birth of Jesus, the angel’s announcement to the shepherds, the wise men and their gifts, fleeing to Egypt, and at last heading home to Nazareth. The “Can You Retell the Story” activity at the end of the book is a fun way for children to learn to tell the story themselves.

    The animated DVD includes a 15-minute story plus coloring pages and other bonus features.

    December 11, 2009: The Story of Christmas from the Read and ShareT Bible is a colorful retelling of the birth of Christ and the events surrounding it.

    This book is a very basis telling of the story and would be very appropriate for all ages. It is easy to read and at the end, you get to pick through pictures so you can re-tell the story. The DVD contains short stories about Jesus growing up as well as coloring pages.

    This book and DVD set is a good introduction into the meaning of Christmas for the younger children.

    I was provided this book / DVD set to review by Thomas Nelson

    Great Christmas Bible Storybook and DVD!by Anne-B

    November 27, 2009: A few months ago, I received the Read And Share Bible for my daughters. We have loved this Bible Story Book! It is very biblical and has really caused me to think about what the Bible says and what it doesn't.

    I don't have the DVD version of the Bible, but have been curious about it. So, I was very excited to receive a copy of Read and Share: The Story of Christmas storybook from Thomas Nelson. It includes a DVD with a sampling of the stories on the Read and Share DVD Bible.

    This storybook is a larger sized storybook than the read and share Bible that includes the stories about Zecharias, Elizabeth, and John, as well as the stories about Mary, Joseph, and Jesus' birth. My 6 year old enjoyed the pages at the end which ask you to tell the story with the pictures (which are out of order). The stories on each page tell a story (they don't have to be combined all together and then put in order).

    We all enjoyed the storybook and then really enjoyed the DVD. I think it's a very tricky thing to do--to bring to life the stories from the Bible without reading into them and adding details that aren't there. But, Thomas Nelson does a great job with the stories that are in this DVD. I highly recommend this book--the storybook and the DVD!
