PreS-K–Ever wondered what it might have been like to visit Bethlehem on the very first Christmas? This religious board book imagines what a young boy might have done on that sacred night. “If I had been a spotted cow and mooed so loud and clear, it would have echoed through the hills that Jesus Christ is here.” Soft digital illustrations support the gentle text and help younger readers follow along. The book ends with scripture and will appeal to a specific audience.

VERDICT A suitable purchase if more religious board books are needed in the collection.
