The Story of Christmas Story Book Set & Advent Calendar

A wonderfully illustrated retelling of the story of Mary Joseph and baby Jesus through a delightful holiday tradition: the keeping of an advent calendar. Twenty-four miniature board books are arranged in sequence and nestled in a backer. The books are numbered 1 through 24 and like the peek-a-boo windows of an Advent calendar are meant to be opened one-per-day from December first through Christmas Eve. Read in sequence the full-color four-page books capture the mystery of the first Christmas from Gabriels visit to Mary to Jesus birth in the manger. The Jewel-like books with gold-thread loops and three different trim sizes also make memorable ornaments for the Christmas tree. 168 000 copies in print.
