Star Bright, Christmas Night [Board book] Hall, Hannah C. and Jatkowska, Ag

Description: Product Description From angels to cats to swooping sparrows, the whole earth sings the news of Jesus' birth in this Christmas board book. Using cheerful rhymes and sweetly simple rhythm, Star Bright, Christmas Night tells the story of that first Christmas in a style that's lighthearted yet reverent. Readers will experience Christmas through those who might have seen and heard it first: the Star of Bethlehem, a family of cats, a sheepdog in the field, and more. Rich illustrations and toddler-friendly text offer even the tiniest listener a better understanding of what the birth of Jesus means to all creation: hope and new life found in a precious, baby King. Review Hall uses personified animals and celestial objects to follow the spreading news of Jesus's birth. Details emerge as she moves from the sun to a star to angels and various animals: As Mama Cat gives bedtime baths,/ she whispers into ears,/ 'The inn is full. Our newborn King/ will spend his first night here!' There's the occasional minor oddity (the sun makes mention of a Christmas night surprise as it sets, even though Christmas isn't exactly a thing quite yet), but there's palpable excitement among the people and animals making their way to the manger, both in Hall's ebullient rhymes and Jatkowska's gently textured illustrations of a Bethlehem coming alive by night.
