Synopses & Reviews
Review:
"A young, wide-eyed dromedary in service to wise man Balthazar gets a starring role in this oddly revisionist Nativity story. In Brown's tale, the travelers have clearly taken the long way. After following the bright star for 'months,' they arrive bearing gold, frankincense and myrrh not at a Bethlehem stable, but at what appears to be the Nazareth home of Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus — who in Ferri's soft, luminous pastels is the size of a toddler. Unfortunately, the text's reassuring tone cannot counterbalance its puzzling timetable. Ages 5-8." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Synopsis:
Wise Balthazar is going on an important journey; he is following a brilliant star and looking for a baby king Small Camel and his mother are going, too, and Small Camel is carrying a special bundle tied to his hump. What is in the bundle? It's a long, hard trip across the great desert. Small Camel is very tired, and his feet hurt. When will we get there? he asks Mama. At long last the star leads them to a humble little house. A poor carpenter works outside. Can this be the home of the baby king? Rachel W. N. Brown's sweet nativity story will touch the hearts of children everywhere.
