The First Noël: A Christmas Carousel

(2) K-3 Familiar bits of text from the book of Luke in the King James Bible serve as captions for cut-paper silhouette illustrations of five episodes in the Nativity story. Each page opening of this richly attractive accordion-folded, three-dimensional construct--more art object than book--shows intricacy of paper engineering and emotional effect, while creating a beautifully seasonal appearance.
