The beautifully illustrated BibleTime series takes the lives of bible characters from both the Old and New Testament, retells them in a way that’s easy for children to read and understand, and has some of the best explanations of bible stories that we've seen. This book is a retelling of the birth of Christ and the gifts of the Wise men that sticks close to the text, but also adds helpful insights. Both instructive and entertaining, this story can be read aloud to children ages 2-4 or by beginning readers (ages 4-7) on their own.
