All About Christmas: Over 100 Amazing Facts Behind the Christmas Story

Yes, it tells the story, but it includes lots of background information: how Dionysius got his dates wrong, how the original stories were handed down orally before being written down, scientific facts about stars, and so on. Tricky bits of the Christmas story are explained and applied, and contextual information is given to help children understand it better (such as the Jesse Tree, John the Baptist and angels).

Bursting with colour photos and bitesize info chunks, ‘All About Christmas’ would make a wonderful KS2 textbook, but would also be a great addition to your Advent basket – especially for children who like to ask questions and really test whether or not the Bible can be relied upon. ‘All About Christmas’ is the first in the Good Book Co’s ‘All About…’ series.
