The Sunday school children are putting on a short Christmas play for their parents. Rather than going with the usual "Nativity scene" skit, the class chooses to do a skit where they bring gifts to Jesus- trophies they have earned in sports, music they have written, foods they enjoy eating, and a television they enjoy spending time watching. However, none of these gifts are what Jesus wants. Then one little boy stands before Jesus and offers himself to Jesus because it is all he has. This is the gift Jesus wants.
What I Like: This book offered a lot of opportunity for my 8 year old and I to talk about what we have to offer Jesus, how often we make other things in our lives idols, and how we need to make our lives a gift for Him.
I also love that this book comes with a CD. It gives children a chance to listen to the story as a radio show the way this story was originally intended.
The illustrations by Joel Spector were perfectly done. They certainly add to the story and do not take away from it in any way.
What I Dislike: I loved everything about this book.
Overall Rating: Excellent.
Age Appeal: 5-12 years old.
