I read this book with my three year old and he loved it! As soon as we finished we had to read it again and again. The story had a nice rhythm to it and the message in the words was a good one. The illustrations we perfect for the scenes and the Precious Moments characters added even more to the story. My son and I really enjoyed this book and I’m sure it will become a holiday favorite in our household!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book to review!

I received a free copy of, The Joy of Christmas, by Jamie Calloway-Hanauer, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I love Christmas and I adore the precious moments figurines, so this is a perfect read for me. I like how this book reminds us that, Jesus is the reason for the season. This book has great illustrations and a great story about faith, family, hope and love.

Precious Moments has always been so special to me because my mom used to collect the figurines. Reading this book made me feel so nostalgic! The illustrations take me back to my childhood. This is such a cute book for kids to read during the holidays!

I loved this book! Precious moments really is very nostalgic to me so the illustrations made me incredibly happy.
It's really cute, all about Christmas and being grateful and loving being its true meaning... A really sweet tale for kids.
I also love the rhyming, it was perfect.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of "The Joy of Christmas." All thoughts and opinions are my own.
The book was cute. I liked all the Precious Moments that you see. The story was nice and rhymed pretty well. There were only a few spots that didn't line up perfectly(please excuse my teacher brain that likes things nicely done). It was a nice story that focused more on the gift of giving instead of receiving. I appreciate how they did not make a big deal about presents.

"The Joy Of Christmas" was a heartwarming read! The illustrations fit the poetic and rhythmic nature of the writing. I appreciated how the author tied in family traditions while mentioning the deeper meaning of Christmas.

We read a lot of Precious Moments stories in my household and I will definitely be adding this one to our Holiday collection.

Thank you Kim Lawrence and Jamie Calloway-Hanauer, Net Galley and Source Books Kids- Sourcebooks Wonderland for providing me with an ARC of this book.

Really cute Precious Moments Christmas book. It's poetic, the illustrations were perfect, and it has a nice message about the real meaning of Christmas (peace/love/joy with your family)
