Summary: Focusing on Christmas
Comment: THE NIGHT OF CHRISTMAS

Our bookshelves are full of children's holiday books (now being hopefully saved for future grandchildren). They range from religious to secular, an illustrated St. Luke to Sesame Street, with at least four different copies of THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, the all-time favorite. When my children were younger, drawing their attention to the true story of Christmas with all the distractions of the holiday proved a sometimes overwhelming endeavor. I wish I had had a copy of Stephen and Suzanne Ray's THE NIGHT OF CHRISTMAS a few years ago.

The events surrounding Christ's birth are related in a familiar, upbeat, rhythmic cadence and tone with interesting vocabulary:

The town it was crowded, filled with families and kin. When the young couple arrived, there was no room in the inn. In the sweet smelling straw, in a cold drafty cavern, She could travel no farther than this spot 'hind a tavern.

Unlike other books of its nature, THE NIGHT OF CHRISTMAS gives us a glimpse of Christ's later life as a boy and a man, rounding out the story of Christ as God's gift to mankind. St. Luke's telling of the first Christmas and a glossary of Biblical terms used in the book are useful for older children. The colorful illustrations by Mike Harris are sufficiently expressive to draw and hold the eyes of younger children while they listen. This one definitely finds a place on my bookshelf.
