Twinkly, Twinkly Nativity

Soft lights glow through the pages of this board book as the nativity story moves from a journey to Bethlehem to a stable at the end. Sam Taplin tells it in short rhyming lines pitched at toddlers, with artwork by Roisin Hahessy setting each scene in warm, gentle colour. The twinkling element gives very young children a reason to keep turning pages, while the rhyme gives an adult reader a steady rhythm to follow. Thick board construction means it survives the handling that comes with a favourite book. Where its value sits: • Rhyming text short enough for a toddler's attention span. • Lights built into the pages that glow as scenes are revealed. • Board pages sturdy enough for repeated bedtime use. • Illustrations by Roisin Hahessy across every spread. Made for babies, toddlers and preschoolers and for the adults reading with them, particularly around Christmas; published by Usborne and available from Boipoka.
