My Christmas Stocking is a board book for the little ones. The story is simple yet engaging for young readers. I like how they made the book in the shape of a stocking, it's just another way to grab little ones attentions. Each page is filled with colorful pictures that will draw in little ones eyes. Now this story does have a religious undertone. But I personally do not feel it's overwhelming and it is appropriate since we are talking about Christmas. My Christmas Stocking help explain ...

Goodnight Manger
What a cute book! My daughter is 5 years old and is fascinated with babies and pretty much everything right now. At this age everything seems to be clicking for her, her brain is whirling 2000 miles a second and she's full of questions.
