A Child's Christmas Counting Book - Hardcover

by Paul Thigpen (Author), John Folley (Illustrator)

Little ones love Christmas, and they love to count.

These two pleasures come together in this delightfully illustrated new title from author/illustrator team Paul Thigpen and John Folley.

In A Child's Christmas Counting Book, the rollicking rhyme and alliteration of Thigpen's charming verse about the birth of Jesus will entertain young ears, while Folley's magical illustrations, rooted deeply in traditional sacred art, will engage young and old alike.

With this companion to A Child's Christmas ABC Book, also by Thigpen and Folley, you and your child can recall together the Nativity story as you count from 1 to 10. From "1 little Boy" to "10 tuckered travelers" sleeping in the nearby inn, the masterful craftsmanship of this book's words and images will make it, like its companion book, a Christmas family favorite for generations to come.
