2 comments about My Little Pony: Rose Blossom's First Christmas (My Little Pony).

1. Let me start off by saying that I am a Christian who knows that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ. That being said, this little book is about a new baby pony named Rose Blossom and her first experience with a Christmas party in Ponyville. Although it never mentions Jesus, it also doesn't mention Santa either, which makes it a nice, neutral story about a happy party taking place during Christmas. The book's cover is beautiful and glittery.



2. I honestly can't review the book, because it never arrived! I ordered it for my niece on Dec. 2nd, and it didn't arrive in time for Christmas. It's now Jan. 2nd, and it still hasn't arrived. Two other items ordered from Amazon haven't arrived either. (One is a Curious George Christmas book which I ordered for my nephew...)
   This experience is not typical of Amazon, and I welcome a customer service rep to contact me to get it straightened out.

2 comments about Saint Francis and the Christmas Donkey.

1. I was immediately drawn to this book since my sister gave me my middle name after her favorite saint, Saint Francis. The illustrations are beautiful, an important factor for those of us with young children since they will be more apt to enjoy a book with detailed pictures. The story is told by Saint Francis to the donkey to help him understand his place in the world. It provides parents a perfect opportunity to discuss how harmful pride can be and how God has given each of us a reason for living. The tale includes an explanation of the creation of the animals and why the donkey was chosen to carry Mary to Bethlehem. In the afterword, the author has also included a mini-biography of St. Francis and an annotated bibliography. A selection you must have to add to your Christmas reading traditions.



2. I bought this last year for my grandson. He loved it. He turned it over and looked for a gold sticker. He thought surely it had won an award. It has beautiful pictures of Assisi, and combines the story of creation with the Christmas story. I am now buying a copy for our church.

1. I purchased both books as a gift for a book club gift exchange. This book is cute, but A Bit of Applause for Mrs. Claus was better.

1. Since I was a young child, this book has been one of my very favorites. The simple rhymes are fun and memorable. The illustrations are terrific. This book creates a fun group of friends for children of all ages. The Thingamajigs are funny little guys that learn what the true meaning of Christmas really is..."In Giving, not in getting..." Molly and Humphrey help to teach the lesson that we can carry the spirit of Christmas throughout the entire year if we are willing to give of ourselves. It is fun, exciting, and inspiring. A great childrens book that is easily enjoyed by adults as well.

1. The story of Christmas is written in a wonderful, understandable format in meter and rhyme. I witnessed children once bored with church studies come alive with wonder and amazement upon reading this book! A few pages is all it takes for this insightful children's author to take our kids back to Bethlehem! Thank you, Gloria Truitt!
