The Twelve Prayers of Christmas

(4) K-3 Illustrated by James Bernardin. Twelve Nativity players offer prayers expressing their places in "God's plan." Though some of the rhymes are clunky ("I could not have known / when I turned them away, / pure love from above / would soon lie in the hay"), the writing is more often serviceable. Lavish paintings illustrate the traditional Nativity scenes using rich blue and gold hues.
