Overview / 简介: |
| "Silent Night," written on Christmas Eve in a small town in Austria nearly two centuries ago, is one of the world's most beloved Christmas carols. Maja Dusikova captures the song's simplicity and grace in warm, reverent pictures that illustrate the joy and wonder experienced around the world at the birth of the Christ Child. The result is a picture book Nativity that echoes the universal appeal of "Silent Night." |
From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Kindergarten-Grade 3-This picture-book version of the well-loved carol includes the musical notation and lyrics for all three verses. Double-page spreads feature paintings in muted tones with soft, curving lines that evoke a gentle quality; moonlight, starlight, campfire light, celestial light, and a light that emanates from the baby Jesus himself create a dramatic focus for each illustration. The setting changes from page to page, shifting from snowy alpine village to desert wilderness to the North Pole. While this device highlights the universality of the song, it may confuse some readers. However, adults seeking a simple, reverent title for sharing-whether to be sung or read aloud-will welcome this edition. Front matter includes a brief account of how Mohr and Franz Gruber came to write the song in 1818.-S.P.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| The soft, moonlit illustrations and flowing verse make this a book to keep and treasure for years to come. Nothing can change the fact that this carol is one of the most well-known and beloved around the world - regardless of dates. The music chip in this one is not the tinny, toy piano type, but plays the full hymn. Truly a wonderful book for families trying to maintain a focus on the "real" story of Christmas and in the end - isn't that what it's really all about? |
