GoodBookStall Review:
Keith Park is a teacher of pupils with multi-sensory impairments and holds a degree in Special Educational Needs. The Nativity story was dreamt up as a one off novelty presentation that the London children he teaches could understand and enjoy performing. It worked so well that they asked for more and this book is the result; a fun resource for all ages that enables participation by audience and performers alike. The Introduction tells the story of the book and is well worth reading before you begin on the contents. If you think you are going to read through very quickly, it is a slim book, you are mistaken. It is impossible not to get caught up in the spirit of the pieces and to read them accordingly. If you can get someone to listen to you reading out loud that is good, and if you can get a group to join in even better!
