Beautifully drawn, good parable

I learned about Tomie de Paola from watching Barney, of all things, and this was the first book of his we bought. The drawings are bright and well done, and match the text perfectly. This is a good book for introducing religious concepts (devil, Christ Child) to little kids without overtly proselytizing. Also, if your child happens to be named Christopher (as mine is), it is fun for the child to learn what his name means. I would recommend this book and plan to buy more by this author.
