Easy-to-read but evocative text describing the birth of that special baby is accompanied by lovely artwork created with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. This lovely picture book would be an excellent introduction to the Nativity and one that might be shared with the entire family. The facial expressions are lifelike, and the gentleness of the animals in that manger as well as the curiosity of the visitors to the stable are rendered effectively here.
A gentle, lyrical nativity story.
Simple nativity board book for infants and toddlers. (Note to self: found through ILL)
Simple and clear, perfect for reading aloud to younger kids if you want a toddler to have a basic understanding of the Christian nativity story.
Beautiful illustrations--I especially like the use of light--but the text is pretty dull.
A simple telling of the wondrous story of the first Christmas. Beautiful illustrations make a hushed and peaceful setting for the Nativity story.

These reports give a complete break-down of everything in the book, so you'll know just how clean it is or isn't. I also have Clean Guides (downloadable PDFs) which enable you to clean up your book before reading it! Visit my website: The Book Radar.
I'm not Christian so I don't have a sense of how this fits in with other books like it, but I liked the peaceful, understated, image-forward way of telling a Christmas story. More is left to the readers than in the text, so I imagine parents reading this book to children may have their own ways of embellishing the story.
Godwin, Laura This First Christmas Night, illustrated by William Low. PICTURE BOOK. Feiwel & Friends (Macmillan), 2016. $17.The text of this book about the Nativity is sweet and almost rhythmic. Unfortunately, the illustrations are dark, muddy, and lack detail and don’t add the needed umph to making this a top notch holiday book choice.Pre-K, EL (K-3) – OPTIONAL.
