Product Description: For ages 4-8. Exquisite art by Guy Porfirio illustrates this new edition of one of the most popular books of all time. This delightful classic has sold in excess of one million copies. It is a classic tale of a four year old angel, recently arrived in Heaven, homesick and usually in trouble. As the angels in Heaven plan their gifts for the impending birth of God's son, the Littlest Angel becomes more and more depressed until he determines to give all that he has. And wonder of wonders, it is the favoured gift of the heavenly father. Never has Heaven looked this good. Never has a little boy been able to tug at the heartstrings as in this magnificent book.
Littlest Angel This is my favorite Christmas story from childhood. I still get tears when I read it today. I have given copies of this book to several children over the last Christmases in hopes that it will effect them as it has me.
the littlest angel I was four when I lost my brother to cancer. Explaining this to a child was very difficult for my parents. I remember having this book read to me over and over and it made the "reality" of death a little easier for a child. I buy this book for baby showers and it still brings me to tears after all these years. (my children also love this book)
The Sad Little Angel My Mother read this book to me when I was a child. I am still very disturbed by it and I am 48 years old. It is a very sad tale about a 4 year old who has died and is now lonely, unhappy and homesick in heaven ; separated from his mother. Not exactly the image of heaven I want to convey to my small child. I know a lot of people consider this book to be a classic. But I would urge every parent to read this book through before you read it to your child to determine if you feel it is appropriate for your child. I just remember being about 4 years old myself and wondering for years why my mother would read such a sad and depressing story to me.
THe Liitle Angel This story has been a part of our Family life since my children were small. Now they are grown up and have their own children. We still read it every Christmas Eve. This version of the story is beautifully illiustrated and as ever, warms your heart on each reading. I have read this to Brownies, Girl guides and this year to a senior citizens group over the holidays. It never fails to bring a tear to one's eye and yet hope to your heart. I highly recommend this story and this book to children of all ages. Jean W.
One of the best stories ever... My Grandma has been reading this story to me ever since I was little, and even though I am 21 I still make her read it to me every Christmas. It is one of my favorite stories and someday I will read it to my children too.
