Bethlehem is busier than Itsy and Bitsy Mouse have ever seen it because the time has come for all the people to be counted. Conversing with Daniel Donkey, Itsy and Bitsy learn a King is coming to Bethlehem and go in search of him throughout the town, not giving into the discouragement their animal friends convey. Not until they return to their stable home do they find the King they seek and learn that he came for all, no matter how small.
Max Lucado eloquently shares the true story of Christmas through Itsy Bitsy Christmas: You're never too little for His love! Published in a sturdy board book format, it is larger than many allowing small hands to enjoy the book without fear of tearing pages. It doesn't follow the word count in what I think of when I think of the typical board book so the story is complete with language, sentence structure, and length appropriate for even young school age children.
Lucado has been a favorite author of mine for years with You Are Special, Because I Love You, Best of All, and Just in Case You Ever Wonder. This book is right in line with those and will become a favorite for our family who loves the Christmas season so much already. I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and was in no way obligated to write a positive one. May God allow Lucado's writing to continue for years for future generations.
