Book Review: "My Christmas Stocking" by Crystal Bowman

Product description:
What happens on Christmas Eve while children sleep? "Their stockings are filled up with candy and toys, and happy surprises for good girls and boys." A kindhearted man hid a gift in a stocking, long ago. He did it to "remind everyone of the Gift that God sent." Christmas stockings help us remember God's love.

My Review:

"My Christmas Stocking" is an adorable board book that is in a shape of a stocking. The author uses many great rhymes and the illustrations are bright. This story tells you the story of the first stockings and Saint Nicholas. Our main stream society really doesn't understand that Saint Nicholas was a real person who had a desire to share God's message and love with everyone! It is a great story to start with your toddlers so they understand the difference of Saint Nicholas a real person as opposed to Santa Claus a fictitious character. I recommend putting this book on your Christmas list of books to read to the kids.

Thanks Zondervan for sending me this book free of charge in exchange for an honest review. I was not paid for this review and all opinions expressed are 100% mine.

Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...
