A Night of Great Joy is a cute book by Mary Engelbreit, telling the Christmas story.
Although A Night of Great Joy has words, the real beauty of the book comes from the illustrations, of course. Mary Engelbreit has a cute, recognizable style and the illustrations in this book follow suit. In fact, what I love most about this book is finding the little quirks in the pictures. The illustrations are done as if you are looking at a play (performed by children) and there is plenty to discover on the pages.
As you can see on the cover, the baby Jesus is "played" by a Raggedy Ann/Andy type doll, so keep that in mind if that is a deciding factor for you.
I found A Night of Great Joy to be a unique perspective on the Christmas story and really enjoyed it.
