    This review was written for The King's Christmas List.
    The King's Christmas List I received this book for free from Thomas Nelson Publishing in exchange for my honest review. I really appreciated the new direction that this book takes in the realm of Christmas stories. So many Christmas stories for kids are centered around Santa Claus and gifts that it is easy to forget that the holiday is about celebrating the birth of Christ. Christian Christmas stories celebrate the birth of the King, but often stop there. This story goes one step further.Just what does a king want as a birthday present? Obviously we would want to give him the very best things we have to offer, but is that really what He wants from us? I like the message given in this book. Reading through this book could easily become a family holiday tradition that sparks some great conversations with your young children. Not only that, there are opportunities for your family to take part in giving a gift to the King listed at the back of the book. This is a good story for your children. The pictures are also very engaging. My biggest complaint is the name of the little girl's dog, Shu-shu.

    I was so excited when this book arrived on my doorstep last week! I love books. I love children's books. I love books that teach me a lesson. As a mom, I love books that teach my children how to live their lives for Christ EVERY day. Eldon Johnson, in the book, The King's Christmas List, helps teach a concept to readers of all ages. Through Emma's journey to the King's birthday party, we see how we can give anywhere, anytime and anything. AS the story begins, we see Emma taking what she had to the King; teaching us to use what you have at that moment. On the journey, we see Emma give her time, her favorite thing and her self. When she arrives at the birthday party empty handed, we all learn that she gave the best gift - giving herself to others. Matthew 25:37-40 is the key verse to this book:The King will reply: "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for the one of the least of these brothers of mine,you did for me.Matthew 25:40 NIVThe end of the book provides the parent resources to help teach their children how to give of themselves as they walk the Christian walk.. This a wonderful book with a year round message for a year round practice. Keep it out all year long!

    The Kings Christmas List by Eldon Johnson has a wonderful message for children and is presented in a way in which theyre sure to be able to relate. It is also beautifully illustrated by Bonnie Leick. The illustrations alone present the message, making it a book for even non-readers. It tells the story of Emma and her dog Shu-Shu receiving an invitation to attend the Kings birthday party and follows Emma as she carefully chooses a gift to present to the King, continuing with her experiences along the way and finally actually attending the party and meeting the King.Its a story of a caring, compassionate child and how that compassion leads her to not only give away the gift shes chosen for the King, but also something of her own that she needs and something she cherishes. As we reach the end of the book and she realizes just who the King is, children (as well as perhaps ourselves) gain a new understanding of the words Whatever gift youve given to a person in need, is indeed a gift you have given to me.I received a free copy of this book from Booksneeze in exchange for reviewing it. I was not required to write a favorable review, this is my own evaluation of the book. I highly recommend it.

    I love this book and it will be added to our library and read for years to come. It is a lovely story about a girl who finds the true meaning of Christmas on the way to a party. It reminds us all that Christmas is about giving and not getting. It also at the end has ideas and ways to give through different organization and not all require money. It is a great way to teach children what Christmas is about and then put it in to practice. I received this book through Booksneeze.com and I am so thankful to have picked a great book for my children to read.

Upon arriving, she has nothing to give the king, but finds out she has given the best gift of all.The Kings Christmas List is beautifully illustrated and well written. It is a great story of what our king really wants from us at Christmas and all through the year. There are even suggestions at the end of the book on how to help others.
