Colorful with terrific illustrations, The Gifts They Gave makes a perfect gift for all young readers during the Christmas season teaching them the true meaning of Christmas. The repetition of the last line is great for learning and this is an educational read as well for the young ones. We love the simple, straightforward tone with rhymes that adds a bit of fun to this beautiful story of Christmas. The animals and their expressive eyes are remarkable and we like how this teaches the role of each animal and how each helped out and became a contributor to the story of Christmas. We're sure that Santa himself tips his hat to writer and illustrator Patricia Reeder Eubank! 

Whom You Know Highly Recommends The Gifts They Gave.

This beautiful holiday book uses a timeless, beloved Christmas song to tell the story of the nativity. In the manger where Jesus was born, all the animals flock around Him and tell of the special gifts they gave to the infant. 

From the donkey that carried Mary to Bethlehem to the sheep whose wool made the baby a warm blanket and the doves that cooed a lullaby, these fluffy creatures will steal children's hearts. Author/illustrator Patricia Eubank even penned two new verses to include the familiar cat and dog!
