 An excellent reminder October 23, 2007
R. Addington (GA United States)
A friend shared this at an adults only gathering several years ago, and we had to find our own copy of the book. My husband (a pastor) has used it many times since for Christmas-time devotionals~he has even read it during our morning worship service. Children love the book, too. It reminds us all what is REALLY important, especially during this notoriously busy time of year. If someone was "missing Baby Jesus", would they know to call on YOU? This is one of our all time favorite Christmas stories.
True Meaning of Christmas March 9, 2007
Bronte Mitchell (Phenix City, AL United States)
I bought this book to share with my children after a freind shared it with me. It is a nice little story that conveys the real meaning behind the Christmas holidays and helps children to focus on what is important and not so much what they want for Christmas. I wanted my small children to understand that giving to others is what matters most.

I am a pastor and found this story very touching. I read it to my congregation as a Christmas devotional and it was well-received.

This book is easy to read, simple in its point, and suitable for children as well as adults. As a 5th and 6th grade art teacher, I read it to my classes every year at the beginning of Dec., when we begin our Christmas projects, including recycling old cards to make new ones for a local family shelter. Much as "The Gift of the Magi" opened my eyes to what a "good gift" is, "If You're Missing Baby Jesus" illustrates the true meaning of Christmas. The fact that it is a true story makes the book even more attractive to me. It also brings the opportunity to teach things about "the good ole days," like living in a small town, you only needed to dial the last four digits of someone's phone number to reach them and there used to be such a thing as "penny candy." I usually can't get through the reading of this story without crying, it touches my heart so!
Heartwarming tale December 16, 2000

This is a wonderful little story with beautiful illustrations that conveys the true meaning of Christmas. A good choice to read aloud to a group of children (ages 5 to 8 or so), the story contains enough humor to lighten the message.
