Review: What's there to say? It is a gorgeously produced, high quality book. My granddaughter just loves it. I 'sing' it to her with adhoc interpretation of some of the pages. More importantly, she really identified with a great many of the illustrated characters too. Over Christmas it was her 'go to' night time reading. Ten out of ten!

Review: 4? This is an illustrated children's book of "Silent Night" the favourite old Christmas hymn (but no pictures of 'Round John Virgin' that I could find!) The style is distinctively flat, like a collage, but there are millions of tiny details. Well, hundreds - okay, lots. Lots of details, more than I associate with works made from paper, which give the pictures a lot of background interest and should make for some good conversation with children about what the times were like back then. The characters vary from very dark to very light and the clothing is plain, in simple colours. Except for the wise men. They're kings, and kings get the fancy cloth! There are some patterned rugs and mats, if you look for them. The people quite obviously come from different places in the Middle East, while the angels come from around the world. They are all different colours. Even the sheep are dark brown, white, and grey. I think children will have fun trying to identify which animal is which and finding them in more than one picture. They'll enjoy finding the animals in the trees and on the roof, too. There is an interesting history of the song at the end along with all the words. The author illustrates each verse and then repeats the first one, giving her the chance to show different views. I'll show a few of the pages here.
