This book has the cutest pictures ever and lots of crafts and recipes to make with the kids.
This book is about a cricket who is living in the barn where Christ is born. He is very annoyed with all of the commotion on the night of Christ's birth, but then a girl holds him up to see the newborn babe....the cricket knows he must play him a song. I LOVE the artwork in this book. Here is one of the pictures I adore:
This is the story I swear was made into a church video....a young boy surprises his dad on Christmas morning by going out and doing the chores early and then gets back into bed and pretends to be asleep. When his dad comes to wake him up and tell him not to worry about the chores, the boy tells him the chores are already done. The dad gets to see the family open their presents on Christmas morning which is something that had never happened before. (Obviously, Pearl S. Buck tells it better than me).

I think this book may have been helpful to read before going to the Nutcracker for the first time when I was 12. I had a hard time figuring out what all the fighting rats were about. The artwork is very unique and fun. This is one that Hyrum and Matt wanted to hear again and again.
I'd love to hear of other Christmas picture books I'm missing in my collection, so please share if you have some.
