Summary: .YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE !
Review: Angel pig and the hidden Christmas is a good book!
It is about a family of pigs who used up all their money and don't have any money to buy Christmas gifts.
They don't believe they can have Christmas without money!
Then a mysterious soul tells them that they can do it.
He also says that you just have to believe!
This is a very touching book.
I recomend it to kids between the ages of 7 and 9.

Summary: The Real Meaning of Christmas
Review: David Mcphails wonderful illustrations touch off a tender and amusing story of a Christmas lost and found. When the pigs realize they have no money or 'in-coming pay' they are 'despondent'. The book uses words that increase a childs vocabulary while conveying REAL EMOTION. Angel Pig puts them on a path of discovery as they make gifts with things they found in the house - fabric, paint, clay, boxes etc. and they realize how special it is to give from the heart instead of the wallet. Precious and timely.

Summary: MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS STORY - iT GETS RIGHT TO THE POINT
Review: I recieved this book several years ago from a book editor friend who said her daughter loved the book. I read it to my twin boys that were 3 years old at the time. They enjoyed the book because of the pretty illustrations and rhyming. We read it every year and they still love it (they are 7 now) It is so special and helps you and your children to realign yourself to what is really important about Christmas. Highly recommend this one for your christmas collection.

Summary: Good Book for Kids!
Review: The book teaches you that you work with the stuff you have during Christmas time, and it's not the amount of money you have that is important, but the spirit behind the gift giving. In Hmong culture, a boiled egg is a major gift, meaning new spiritual life for the New Year. We could all learn a valuable lesson from the Hmong. What you have is not important compared to the kind of person you are and your own spiritual wealth.

My son Ryan read this for a special Christmas program on WFDL radio. It taught him a valuable lesson about what it means to be human. Ryan helped me with this review.
