“Christmas in the Manger” by Nola Buck and Felicia Bond uses an easy rhyming scheme to keep children’s attention. It also includes bold crisp illustrations that clearly focus on the topic of each two page set. Each turn of the page includes a verse about a nativity character, finishing with the baby Jesus. This one veers on the younger side and is perfect for babies and toddlers but maxes out the interest level at about 3 years old. ( )
