PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Grover effectively reduces the Nativity story to quippy rhyming phrases in this padded board book, whose cozy mood is bolstered by Parry's soft, gauzy-looking digital artwork. "Carry Mary," reads the opening spread as Joseph leads a donkey down a road as birds, butterflies, and a rabbit dance around the couple. From there, they land in the "safe place" of the stable, celebrate "boy joy" when Jesus is born, and enjoy a little "swaddle, coddle" before visitors arrive, having followed the "far star" in the night sky. It's a simple, punchy, and jubilant retelling. Ages 4 8.
