The First Advent

Designed to prepare childrens hearts and minds for the arrival of baby Jesus, The First Advent contains stories and activities for each of the twenty-five days of Advent. On the first day of Advent, Andrew the angel appears to the animals living in the stable in Bethlehem. He encourages them to use their gifts to prepare the stable for the arrival of baby Jesus. David, the stable boy; One Hump, the camel; Cow, the cow; Roger Rat; Anna, the milk maid; Wooly and Fuzzy, the sheep; and a host of other stable residents must first recognize their own gifts. Then they use their unique talents to prepare presents for that special day. As the days of Advent pass, the excitement builds, and the animals gifts prepare the stable for the arrival of the savior of the world.
