The Christmas Baby

32 pp. | Simon | October, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-7885-5 $15.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Richard Cowdrey. Joseph asks, "Have you heard?...A baby! A baby is coming!" In response, angels, animals, and people gather at the stable to greet the newborn Jesus. Bauer connects the Christmas story with the excitement spread each time a baby is born. The text is soothing and rhythmic, but the acrylic illustrations of round-cheeked angels and smiling animals are overly sentimental.
