Reviews - What do our customers think?
 | Excellent explanation of gift giving Nov 22, 2009 |
"The first Christmas present was given by a father," Marilyn Sommerer's new Christmas picture book begins. A mother wrapped the first Christmas present. The father entrusted someone to keep that present safe, and when the present was given, the first Christmas carol was sung. What was that present? asks The First Christmas Present.
The author then explains: God was the father who gave the gift - Jesus. Mary wrapped that gift in swaddling cloth. Joseph was entrusted by the Father to care for baby Jesus, and the first Christmas song was sung by angels announcing Christ's birth to the shepherds.
Some wise men traveled a long way to give a present to the Present. "What do you think He would like you to give him?" the author asks. Perhaps a song, or a prayer, or showing love to another person. All those things, the author said, make a wonderful present to Jesus. "Now we can have peace in our hearts because we know Jesus loves us, saves us, and will take us to heaven someday. What a wonderful Christmas present! It will last forever and ever."
Throughout, the illustrations by Johanna van der Sterr are engaging, showing a modern family celebrating Christmas and setting up a nativity scene in their home.
What I Like: This is a simple way to explain why we give gifts at Christmas and why Jesus is the greatest gift ever given. I also appreciate the focus on giving something to Jesus, and the giving of heartfelt (not store bought) gifts.
What I Dislike: Nothing.
Overall Rating: Very Good.

Christian Children's Book Review | | |  | A sensitive retelling of the Christmas story that focuses on the first gift of the baby Jesus Nov 20, 2009 |
| "The First Christmas Present" is a sensitive retelling of the Christmas story that focuses on the first gift of the baby Jesus and the sure certainty of love and peace that this gift includes for all of us in our hearts. Children are encouraged to think about their best gifts for Jesus, not anything they can buy in a store, but instead, perhaps a song, a prayer, and the act of doing something good and kind for another. "The First Christmas Present" draws upon many Christmas traditions and the lovely illustrations incorporate these elements into the story. | | | | Adorable! Oct 27, 2009 |
| This was a simple rendition of the Christmas story as explained by a father to his young children. It is well written and the illustrations are adorable. I'm making a part of my Christmas collection! | | | Write your own review about First Christmas Present
