A long, long time ago an emperor lived in Rome. His name was Augustus... So begins the Christmas story, told here especially for young children in a lively way that focuses on the message behind Jesus's birth. Sparkling gold elements brighten up the pages, and more than 30 doors to open promise to draw children into the action. |
