The Birds of Bethlehem
The Birds of Bethlehem | Tomie DePaola
1 post | 3 read
A perfect first Christmas book This inventive and fresh Nativity story is told from a bird's-eye view. On the morning of the first Christmas, the birds of Bethlehem gather in the fields--not only to eat but to share the exciting news. People from all over have descended on Bethlehem and an angel has appeared in the night sky. Something extraordinary is coming! The birds agree that they must find this wondrous thing, and off they fly to the stable where a child has been born. In simple language and dazzling pictures, beloved author-illustrator Tomie dePaola shares the awe and anticipation of the first Christmas. His cast of brightly colored, curious birds will appeal to young children, making this a perfect introduction to the story of Christmas.

I love all things by Tomie de Paola. I read this book to my grandkids via Marco Polo this morning. The ending left me wanting more. I know the rest of the story and I know that my daughter in law with tell them the rest of the story but I wish that one line was added to indicate this was baby Jesus and a Scripture provided where readers could read about His birth like Luke 2:1-21.
