He sells newspapers to help his family while his father is away at sea, and he's been saving a bit of his earnings to buy a model schooner in the woodworker's shop. But after Uncle Jim, the woodworker, tells him the story of St. Nicholas, Peter discovers the meaning behind the hanging and filling of Christmas stockings and learns a heartfelt lesson in kindness and generosity. Filled with the rich, realistic illustrations of Jim Griffin, children ages 4 to 8 will discover the depth of God's love shown through others as they learn the Christian meaning revealed in The Legend of the Christmas Stocking. Through imaginative and innovative products, Zonderkidz is feeding young souls.Growing up, Rick Osborne really liked Superman.

Elegant watercolor images begin as simple compositions and become increasingly complex as the familiar story develops. Spirin trims the pictures to arcs and semicircles, echoing the earth's own roundness. Deliberately painterly in their style, the grand images recall the work of Renaissance masters, polished with a contemporary Russian sensibility, and their figures -- angels, God, Adam and Eve -- are accordingly beautiful....[A]s a lovely interpretation of the verses, this is a version that many families will treasure.' -- Booklist <br><br> (Booklist)The Master Illustrator Series celebrates Scripture through the vivid compositions of acclaimed contemporary artists commissioned specifically for this series.

This rhymed version scans well, which encourages reading aloud. Except for the dark backgrounds that make the words hard to see at times, the book is well designed. Variations in type size and spacing work well with the text and add emphasis to crucial words. Cohen's illustrations feature a gray-bearded patriarch and dozens of animal pairs that children will enjoy identifying. The impressionistic style suggests shapes through use of shading and flowing lines. Although this rendition lacks the majestic qualities of Jerry Pinkney's Noah's Ark (SeaStar, 2002) or the bright intensity of Lucy Cousins's Noah's Ark (Candlewick, 1993), it is definitely worth considering for collections that need a new or replacement version of Noah's story.Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University, Mankato Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

8,919 | 0 | Grade 2-5Grimes presents 14 poems, each preceded by a Bible verse, telling the story of the Nativity through the voices of Mary, Joseph, the Wise Men, the innkeeper, Herod, and so on. The poems, mostly unrhymed free verse, use simple language and a rolling rhythm that makes them a pleasure to read aloud. Gaspar, one of the Wise Men, begins his verse with &All those years of poring over/charts and scrolls on astronomy,/then suddenly, it was as if/the Morning Star/leapt from the page/and rose into the sky. The realistic paintings, rendered in muted nighttime shades of blue, gray, brown, and yellow, depict intense people in the midst of a momentous event, their glowing faces bowed in reverence or raised to the heavens. This lovely and heartfelt book adds a deeper perspective to the oft-told story and will enhance most holiday collections.Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library ENDThere are many versions of the Christmas story that fall into the holiday category. This one, with its depth of religious feeling, is closer to Grimes book about Easter, At Jerusalems Gate (2005). Most of the voices of the title are familiar: Mary, Joseph, Elizabeth, Herod, among others. But lesser known biblical voices get a say as well, for instance Anna, who has spent her life worshipping at the Temple and recognizes Jesus for who he is. Writing in a personal free-verse style, Grimes makes these characters seem very flesh-and-blood. Joseph is ready to cast out Mary: Why has she done this to me? The Innkeeper is satisfied with her actions. After all, who would give up a warm bed for strangers? Herod is unnuanced: His death will be my joy! The paintings, focusing on individuals, are solid but sometimes miss the texts inherent drama. Each spread begins with a simple character introduction (a link to an appropriate biblical text would have been helpful). An included audio CD helps bring these voices to life. Grades 3-6. --Ilene Cooper; Title: Voices of Christmas | [

8,929 | 0 | '[Illustrator Amy June] Bates's wispy lined pencil-and-watercolor illustrations exude a warmth that is sure to be especially welcome on chilly autumn days, and a joyful spirit appreciated any time of year.' -- PW Religion Bookline from Publishers Week <br><br> (PW Religion Bookline from Publishers Week)'Exuberant watercolor illustrations in glowing, autumnal hues are the most striking feature of this Christian interpretation of the Thanksgiving holiday. In her double-page spread illustrations, Bates creates a winning personality for the narrator of the story, an unnamed little boy with a big smile. He greets his arriving relatives, plays outside in the leaves with his cousins and enjoys a traditional turkey dinner with pumpkin pie. The boy is followed everywhere by his friendly golden retriever, whose coloring blends in with the fall palette, and Bates adds comical touches such as a close-up view of the child during the dinner with black olives stuck on each finger....The religious aspect of the text includes a prayer before dinner and a repeated refrain, based on a phrase from a Psalm, expressing thanks to God. Adults who prefer a Christian focus for a Thanksgiving story will find this volume useful.' -- Kirkus Reviews <br><br> (Kirkus Reviews)Noted picture-book scribe Wilson again teams with Bates---the pair also created I Will Rejoice: Celebrating Psalm 118---for a follow-up project that spotlights a biblical psalm. This time around, Wilson ties in references to the titular refrain from Psalm 92 with an account of a family's Thanksgiving Day celebration. In rhyming text, a child recounts all the sounds, sights and smells of the November holiday, citing the joys of family, food and fun. Playing in piles of leaves, warming up with apple cider and settling on the couch post-feast with a full belly are among the experiences for which the child expresses thanks to God. Bates's wispy lined pencil-and-watercolor illustrations exude a warmth that is sure to be especially welcome on chilly autumn days, and a joyful spirit appreciated any time of year. Ages 4-8. -- Publishers Weekly <br><br> (Publishers Weekly)'In rhyming stanzas, this cheerful picture book, told from a young boy's perspective, celebrates family, faith, and the idea that there's much to be thankful for. From the family members and friends who visit to playing in fall leaves to enjoying pumpkin pie, a boy relates and appreciates every aspect of his Thanksgiving Day experience. At last it's time for goodbyes, a good-night kiss, and prayers: 'It is good, so good to give thanks to the LORD.' The verse is sweet and earnest, describing lively moments as well as serene ones, such as saying mealtime grace, and the expressive watercolor-and-pencil artwork is done in a warm, bright palette. Psalm 92 inspires the book, and the familiar words are referenced at the beginning and end, and also used as a refrain. An affectionate portrayal of a child's appreciation of life.' -- Booklist <br><br> (Booklist)Written by Karma Wilson, an established awardwinning author. In this heartwarming story that references Psalm 92, award-winning children's author Karma Wilson tells a story about the Thanksgiving holiday that hits just the right tone. Told from the point of view of one young member of an extended family, Give Thanks to the Lord celebrates all the joys of the autumn holiday, from the arrival of distant relatives to a cozy house filled with noisy good cheer to apple cider and the delicious smells of roasting turkey and baking pies. And just when mouths are watering, the family sits down, holds hands, and says a prayer of thanks to God for food and fun and family, all the wonderful things we see. Young readers will delight in each tender rhyme as they learn to appreciate their own many blessings in this full-color picture book for kids. KARMA WILSON Her first poem was published at the tender age of six. The poem was ironically titled, I Dont Wanna Write a Poem! Growing up, she had no desire to write. But Providence had different plans, and now Karma writes poems for a living when she's not busy being a wife and raising three kids. In her spare hours Karma spends time in the wilderness, lifts weights, cooks, and kickboxes. And she loves writing. Karma lives in Fione, MT.

In early nineteenth-century Ukraine, Christians celebrated Easter by exchanging colorful, hand-decorated pysanky eggs--but with Papa away at the war and Mama struggling to make ends meet, Anya's family was too poor to buy eggs to decorate one year. That is, until Anya discovered an abandoned nest of goose eggs and began planning an Easter surprise for her family. But God had an even better surprise in store, and when the eggs unexpectedly began to hatch, Anya learned what the Easter story teaches: spring brings gifts of myriad new beginnings, just as the risen Christ gave the gift of new life to us all. Each Traditions of Faith book features a story of how significant Christian traditions emerged in cultures around the world, with a note about the origin and history of the tradition, and offers ideas and activities each family can adopt as its own.; Title: Easter Eggs for Anya: A Ukrainian Celebration of New Life in Christ (Traditions of Faith from Around the World) | [

No doubt mothers have long been inventing ways to keep young children occupied during the Advent season--like Gerhard Lang's mother, who in the mid-1800s helped her young son count the days on a calendar of cookies. In 1908, the grownup Gerhard, a printer, created the first commercial Advent calendar, twenty-four tiny pictures in the form of a calendar, from his fond memories. Waiting for Christmas tells the story of the young Gerhard--a story children everywhere will recognize as their own--and teaches us that we must wait patiently as we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus.Kathleen Long Bostrom is an accomplished author who has written numerous children's books, including Sunrise Hill and Mary's Happy Christmas Day.

This one, however, is about an event in his life that should have equal interest: his creation of the first Nativity scene. Framed in the fictional tale of a young shepherd named Mario, Strassers story begins when the boy helps Francis load his cart of supplies. A friendship forms, and it is a remark by Mario, who wishes he could have seen the night of Jesus birth, that gives Francis an idea. While Francis is getting permission from the church, Mario finds the perfect cave in which to enact the holy night. The fictional framework for the story does not mesh as seamlessly as it might with the facts, but the addition of Mario does bring a childs perspective to the tale. The full-bleed illustrations, whose glow is reminiscent of stained glass, offer a delicate young shepherd and saint, and they capture the wonderment of both a special night and its first re-creation.

8,948 | 20 | PreS-Gr 2-With vibrant illustrations featuring children of all ages and nationalities, Watson illuminates the message of love and worship contained within the lines of the King James Version of The Lord's Prayer. Each spread focuses on a single line, which is printed in elegant font and incorporated into the painting. Images of animals and the sun recur throughout the book. Some of the pictures are painted in rich colors while others appear to be shadowy, gray pencil sketches. One particularly striking illustration shows an African-American boy drawing with colored chalk on the ground ("Thy will be done on earth"). He is surrounded by a kaleidoscope of wild creatures, sun, and stars. Warren explains the meaning behind the words Jesus taught his disciples with line-by-line commentary, teaching young readers the value of prayer. The artist also offers a reflection on what this prayer means to him. This lovely picture book is a fine choice to help parents introduce the practice of prayer into their children's daily lives.-Linda L. Walkins, Mount Saint Joseph Academy, Brighton, MA (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.The amount of visual directions one could take with a text as open-ended as the Lords Prayer are numerous, though this effortsquarely aimed at the parents of young childrenchooses a straightforward path. Evangelical leader Warren contributes a foreword encouraging parents to recite the prayer with their kids and advocating young ones method of prayer: Authenticity, simplicity, and spontaneity are hallmarks of childlike prayer and faith. The prayer itself breaks down into roughly one stanza per page, though not always along lines of cadence; for example, Thy kingdom come is followed by Thy will be done in earth, rather than the more pleasing rhyme of Thy will be done. Watsons illustrations are of the golden-hued, old-fashioned variety, featuring a cast of multicultural kids and smiling animals cavorting beneath heavens of spiral and geometric design. On occasion, the grins are spookily large, and the deliver us from evil spread is a tad scarya child with a candle stares inexpressively into a dark mirror. Overall, though, this is a handsome and inclusive addition to the religion section. Preschool-Grade 2. --Daniel Kraus; Title: The Lord's Prayer (Illustrated Scripture) | [

8,963 | 0 | Kindergarten-Grade 3This insipid story of a newly immigrated 19th-century Irish family whose daughter feels the pain of separation from her homeland reiterates the origins of Thanksgiving. Mary's father introduces the story of the five kernels of corn, which is used to remind people of sacrifices made by the first colonists during "the starving time." Mary comes around and actually thinks of something she is thankful for. The accompanying paintings appear to be based on or re-created from photographs and reinforce the vapiditydespite their period clothes, the characters resemble Land's End catalog models more than Pilgrims. In one of them, Mary looks more like a spoiled 21st-century birthday child as she pulls her finger through a pie that is to be the only special dish at her family's feast table. Talk about gratefulness! This book has limited child appeal.Lisa Egly Lehmuller, St. Patrick's Catholic School, Charlotte, NC Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Most days, Mary loves her new home in America. But now it's Thanksgiving time, and her family has little food. Mary begins to wish she could go back to Ireland. Life isn't fair. Even the gift of a pumpkin pie from a kind neighbor doesn't cheer her. So, Father tells Mary a story of how the Pilgrims struggled when they first came to America. The seeds they brought with them wouldn't grow. Native Americans showed the new settlers how to make the soil grow crops. That instruction helped, but the Pilgrims still faced hardships. There were times when they had barely enough food. But five kernels of corn helped the Pilgrims survive and made their faith stronger. Will the legend of the five kernels help grow a new faith in Mary too?; Title: Mary's First Thanksgiving: An Inspirational Story of Gratefulness | [

On Christmas Eve, a wonderful aroma momentarily lifts Jack's spirits until he finds out that the cookies baking in the oven are for the needy. To ease his disappointment, Jack's mother tells him about the origin of Christmas cookies. During the Middle Ages, a woodcarver and his wife made cookie molds to help them tell the story of the Nativity. Jack's mother surprises him with an angel cookie on Christmas morning and, in the spirit of the story he's been told, he gives it to a destitute stranger who comes to the door begging for food. While at times the prose is too precise in pointing out the parallels between the two eras (e.g., Jackwondered if times in the Middle Ages had been harder than they were right now, and if boys missed their fathers like he missed his) and the appearance of the poor stranger at the door is contrived, the overall lesson of giving prevails. The atmospheric illustrations depict Jack's kitchen as spare but welcoming. The mouthwatering cookies look as if they can satisfy both physical and spiritual hunger. Refreshingly stripped of holiday commercialism, this is an appropriate title for those who wish to introduce a new perspective to the Christmas story.Joanna K. Fabicon, Los Angeles Public Library Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

So when Jack smells something delicious coming from the kitchen, he can't believe his nose. Cookies! But his excitement turns to disappointment when he learns the cookies aren't for him. Instead, Mother is baking them for the needy people at their church. While Jack helps roll out the dough, his mother tells him the legend of the Christmas cookie. In a captivating interplay of simple words and beautiful illustrations, The Legend of the Christmas Cookie tells a tender story of giving--not just cookies, but gifts of the heart that last forever.; Title: The Gift of the Christmas Cookie: Sharing the True Meaning of Jesus' Birth | [

This gentle Christmas book introduces the original St. Nicholas and tells why we give gifts in remembrance of the greatest gift of all. Nick is much more interested in contemplating his presents under the tree than he is in being dragged along for last-minute shopping with his dad. But while his father's off shopping, Nick hears someone say his name--it's a mall Santa, telling a group of children a story about the original St. Nick. In the long-ago story, a wealthy boy named Nicholas is moved by the sight of poor children and decides to use his family's wealth to help the needy, starting anonymously with his less-fortunate friends. Young Nick is inspired as at last he--and young readers--understand the joy of giving. A note at the end explains how the story of this early Nicholas might have grown into the Santa Claus of legend. Bright, festive artwork accompanies the text of master storyteller Dandi Mackall, who reminds children that God gave us the greatest gift ever given. DANDI DALEY MACKALL won her first writing contest when she was ten years old with fifty words on why she wanted to be a batboy. She won, but they wouldn't let a girl be a batboy. It was her first taste of rejection. She bounced back and has since published 400 books.

8,987 | 20 | In this charming and spirited retelling of Psalm 100:1 from celebrated children's author Karma Wilson, youngsters observe a child discovering the fun and sheer joy of praising God. From birds singing and the church bells ringing to the lively worship service itself--where folks sing, clap, and shout, Hallelujah!--all creation seems to be joining together to celebrate God's goodness in this full-color picture book. Composed entirely in delightful add-on verse, each page builds on the one before, adding ding dongs to tweet-a-tweets and hums to taps to claps, until the entire congregation shouts, Let's make a joyful noise to the Lord! Even the quiet prayer, we learn, is a joyful noise. Prereaders will love helping with sound effects while early readers will be amused by each deft rhyme in this satisfying and entertaining book for kids ages four to eight.Karma Wilson's first poem was published at the tender age of six. The poem was ironically titled, 'I Don't Wanna Write a Poem!' Growing up, she had no desire to write. But Providence had different plans, and now Karma writes poems for a living when she's not busy being a wife and raising three kids. Karma is the bestselling author of Bear Snores On and Bear Wants More, as well as Let's Make a Joyful Noise, Give Thanks to the Lord, and I Will Rejoice.; Title: Let's Make a Joyful Noise: Celebrating Psalm 100 | [

8,988 | 2 | A new addition to the popular Faithgirlz! devotional line, this book takes girls deeper in their faith walk. Here's a brand-new Faithgirlz! devotional for tweens who are searching for real ways to grow--and show--their faith. Parents and Sunday school teachers always find lots of good advice in the Bible, but when a girl needs to know whether or not she should quit the school band or how to tell a friend her skirt is a little too short, what's she supposed to do? Filled with everyday situations and examples, devotions are paired to help girls take their faith walk from indifference to compassion, from critical to admiring, from anxious to peaceful, from worldly beauty to self-acceptance, and much, much more. Each story is paired with Scripture and more Scripture to help girls see that the Bible does have answers, even for the most contemporary predicaments! There's also a reinforcing prayer and a fun quiz to help girls really think about the lesson--ninety days of devotionals to help girls grow from the inside out. kRISTI HoLL is a bestselling and award-winning author of dozens of middle-grade novels.

Almost too confidently, she tries to control fundraising efforts and the tour to avoid another mess by Harmony.

8,991 | 0 | Reviewed with Amy Warren Hilliker's Little One, God Made You.PreS. These two short, sweet board books do a fine job of bringing the idea of God into a very young child's life. "Little One, little do you know? / Do you know God loves you so?" Simple rhyming couplets like these give children the idea that they are cherished, that each person is a blessing to one's family, and that God's love is to be shared. The books are so short and similar they could have been combined, but the price is right, and for children age two and under, the brevity is a plus. The charming artwork resembles that of Helen Oxenbury and features a multiethnic cast of characters. Children will see themselves here. Ilene CooperCopyright American Library Association.

8,995 | 20 | Written in the humorous, gross style of the 2:52 line, designed to ignite the interest of boys. Bible Freaks & Geeks--This book helps boys to grow smarter, stronger, deeper, and cooler by showing them how hurtful name-calling can be. In a fun, engaging format, the book highlights biblical examples of machos, jocks, goons, wonks, slackers, airheads, and more. Through the biblical examples of characters who some would likely classify in these terms today, we learn what kind of people God has used throughout history to accomplish his plans. In Bible Freaks & Geeks we also discover that not only are people wrongfully labeled today by such general and unkind terms, but that even in ancient times, humans exhibited the same traits that we see today. Readers will learn more about the characters in the Bible, and also how to discern between descriptive labels and harmful stereotypes. Seriously Sick Bible Stuff--This book gives boys the lowdown on what living in ancient Israel was really like. In fun and engaging 2:52 style, it offers humorous, gross facts about day-to-day life in Bible times, shattering any illusions boys may have about how much easier things would have been if they had lived during Jesus' day. This book exposes boys to the truth: sleeping next to goats (and cleaning up after them in the morning!), eating food that was spiced because it was spoiled, drinking water that was probably unsafe, and using bathroom accommodations that made outhouses look good. Not to mention the tough, boring work kids had to do! Seriously Sick Bible Stuff helps boys understand the people of Jesus' time--making them grateful for the life God has given them today.
