The familiar story of the birth of Christ is paraphrased from the New Testament and combined with movable pictures. Four illustrations in the book feature vertical slats that shift to reveal a new scene when a flap is lifted or a page is turned. With pastel illustrations, it's an eye-catching, if gimmicky, presentation.
