Yesterday my 4 year old had to stay home from daycare because he was ill. I made several attempts to make him feel better with soups, crackers, Phineas and Ferb, and anything else I could find. He kept asking for a new toy Spider-Man. I knew if I bought one toy, I would have to buy three because I have three boys. Then I came up with a bright idea, I'll read him a book! He was frustrated because we had already read all of his books here at home. So then he asked me to go buy him a book about Christmas.I thought, heck, I'll just get a Christmas book for Kindle. It was then hat I found this adorable book about Holly and her experiences with her first Christmas. It was perfect! It wasn't about Santa or Christmas trees, but of the reason for the season, the birth of Jesus. As I read the book, my son got excited, involved and enjoyed the book immensely.Then tonight he asked me to read about Holly again. So I grabbed my iPad since this story has color pictures. This time all my boys climb on me and laughed and giggled throughout the story. They pointed out the butterfly, the owl, and Star of David with glee. As I read, I built up the story in a great crescendo. in the end when they realized it was about Jesus, they got excited and started asking more about Jesus which is exactly what I was hoping for.This is a nice read and I recommend to no one who wants to read to their children a Bible story from a different perspective.
