This is a hole-in-the-page novelty book that leads the young reader from one Christmas scene to another. As the Nativity story is retold, a simple refrain asks of the characters – Mary, Joseph, the Shepherds and the Wise Men – ‘and what did they see?’ A hole in the page acts as a window through which the reader can peek, revealing a glimpse of the next scene. And as the story is told, more and more detail unfolds until the reader is finally presented with the stable scene, illustrated with an abundance of detail, and is asked the concluding question ‘and what can you see?’ This book offers a fun way to share the Nativity story, helping children take note of all the characters and events involved.
