Can anyone recommend a picture book retelling of the Christmas story for 3 year olds? We have a children's bible but it is strangely phrased and maybe a bit complicated too.

The Usborne Touchy Feely Nativity is really simple, maybe too much for some 3 year olds. However I did use it with my nursery class as an introduction to the nativity before we did our Christmas performance.

Thank you! I'll have a look. Simple might be okay...

The Usborne lift-the-flap board book is excellent, Jesus’s Christmas Party is absolutely lovely as a slightly alternative perspective - DD loved it aged 3 last year.

This is an oldie (our copy was mine as a kid) but seemed to clearly illustrate the story for my 3y 5m old www.worldofbooks.com/the-first-christmas-by-lynne-bradbury-gor001293265.html?keyword=&gclid=CjwKCAiAx57RBRBkEiwA8yZdUAI-ULVB5XDUn9QSmtk0FjGNTZ_gW6KpqQGDU3qD0HMUCzzust_0AxoCqdwQAvD_BwE

We also have the Happyland nativity set and she’s been enjoying acting it out with those as I read it.
