Marvin Mouse Meets the Baby King

This book was perfect! It was simple, but absolutely beautiful. The illustrations were gorgeous! I will definitely be adding it to my Christmas library.

Just in time for Christmas - this beautiful illustrated and thoughtful read about the birth of Jesus thru the eyes of a mouse. Toddlers will relate easily to the magnitude of this special day for Christians and their families. It brings reason for the season in clear focus. Highly recommend.

A special thank you to Books Go Social and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

This is a unique telling of the story of the birth of Christ as that of the observation of a mouse, Marvin Mouse, living in the stable in Bethlehem. With the sweet telling of the story and nice pictures, it makes for a great book for young children, giving them something to imagine, that of a mouse in the stable on that night seeing the Baby, Kings, and angels. Marcin Mouse makes a decision to follow the Baby King after seeing the birth. At the end of the book, questions to ponder and Luke 2 are included giving the background to the story and great for children of all ages as well as adults. This would make a great gift for children.
I received a download copy of the book from BooksGoSocial and NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are mine only.

The most amazing part of this book, quite honestly, is the illustrations. The textures and details in these pictures are beautiful.
There is nothing wrong with the story, either, but due to the way the words are set on the page, I kept expecting the lines to rhyme. Perhaps they are intended to be a psalm though, and not a poem? If this is the case, what a wonderful way to praise the newborn king.

I would like to thank #NetGalley and #BooksGoSocial for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Marvin Mouse Meets the Baby King by Michelle L. Hoy is cute retelling of the birth of Jesus. The illustrations are beautiful. Marvin Mouse Meets the Baby King tells the CHRISTmas Story from what Marvin Mouse sees the night Jesus is born. I love the way Marvin Mouse sees the importance of Jesus' Birth and how Marvin decides to follow Jesus all the days of his life. I highly recommend this book and believe it would be a perfect edition to anyone's Christmas library. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book! (My review is also on Goodreads.)

A little twist called Marvin!

A little twist (in the story of the birth of Jesus) called Marvin the Mouse.

If there had been a talking mouse the day Jesus was born, what would he have said? Let Marvin tell you.

A beautiful illustrated children's book about the birth of Christ through the eyes of a little new believer. Supported by scriptures, it will spark children's curiosity and interest and be the perfect start to important discussion and teaching. I highly recommend it.

I received a free copy of this book from the publishers via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.

Marvin Mouse Meets the Baby King is a lovely retelling of the birth of Jesus told through the eyes of a mouse in the stable. I read it to my 5 year old son who really enjoyed it.

Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for my ARC.

My five year old boy loves anything Christmas and he enjoyed this book immensely. Will recommend for sure! Great way to introduce or reintroduce the Birth of Jesus Christ.

A cute, children's friendly version of the birth of Jesus.
Easy to understand, and really cute illustrations too.
Great book - would make a great Christmas present.

I absolutely loved this book, the story is so cute, but with such depth of meaning.
The illustrations are exquisite, and the book was a joy to read to my grandchildren and I am sure will be a favourite.

Marvin the mouse lives in a barn where nothing exciting ever happens. Then one night a couple came in and delivered baby Jesus. Marvin is fascinated and loyal to Jesus. This is a cute book depicting Jesus’ birth from a new & unique perspective. I enjoyed reading it.

A short retelling of the birth of Jesus from Marvin, a mouse who lives in the stable in Bethlehem where Jesus was born. Briefly introduces the idea of Jesus being a Savior and King. A cute book for very young children, but not long enough to hold the interest of slightly older children. I do appreciate the discussion questions offered at the end.

I read this book with my niece (7) and nephew (3) and they both took different things from it! The beauty of the book is the drawings are easy to grasp and the words are simple for a reader who is growing in confidence.
