My complaint here is that each page looks like confetti was dumped on it, or some sort if weird light play. The detail and feeling captured in these full-page illustrations is commendable. The pictures are certainly the highlight of the book. There is nothing remarkable in the telling of the story - I think the book is popular not for the words it contains, but the pictures. Not that children would know, but the stable would have been overrun with animals during the census, where this story indicates only 5 animals with plenty of room to spare. This "Christmas Tale" is very simple & focuses on the animals in the stable on the night of Jesus' birth.
