Reviews for A Night of Great Joy
5 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The story of the birth of Jesus is told through the eyes of children in Mary Englebreit’s newest book for Christmas, A Night of Great Joy. The familiar story will engage your child as he or she sees it performed in a children’s play. I loved the beautifully detailed illustrations Englebreit is known for as the children endeavor to share the story with their audience. Be on the lookout for kids acting like kids — shepherds fighting over a lamb and kids giggling. This book is homey and cute as it tells the story that changed the world. A Night of Great Joy is a wonderful addition to your family reading this season.Highly Recommended.Audience: children ages 4+.(Thanks to Zonderkidz for a complimentary copy.
