Our book for today is one of the best Arch Books we own. I really love it. It is The Visit of the Wise Men. It was published in 1988 and is a great example of the really nice older Arch Books. It tells the story of the coming of the Wise Men, including their visit to Herod and their dream to go back home a different way. The rhymed verse text seems natural (not forced like the rhymes in some of the Arch Books) and the illustrations are quite lovely. Sadly, it seems to be out of print and I can't find it available anywhere on the web.

I sincerely hope you keep these book recommendations online, at least until next year, so I can sift through them again and order some through your amazon links. ;)
I wanted to do it, but with the upcoming move, I decided against it.
Jennifer,
No worries. I don't delete anything. Once I post it, it stays. Part of my purpose for blogging is for my own record-keeping. Come back to the archives whenever you like!
