My March to the Manger: A Celebration of Jesus’ Birth

Traditionalists will appreciate this book’s emphasis on the reason for the season: the birth of Jesus. The glittery die-cut pages are intended to help keep readers patient during the week before Christmas. In a six-day countdown to the main event, the children are urged to march Nativity figures ever closer to the manger scene, day by day. The book’s final page includes a nontraditional cat at the birth of Jesus and a quotation from the Nativity narrative in the Gospel of Luke. Ages 3–6. (July)
