The Littlest Angel Charles Tazewell Paul Micich 9780824985165 Books

A must have Christmas story. I have been enthralled by this story since I first saw it as an animated movie in the basement of my grammar school about 60 years ago. The story is timeless so don't be afraid to buy it. The illustrations are beautiful. As our family grows, each youngster gets a book for Christmas, signed, dated and with a written sentiment especially for them.
This is the story of a little angel who doesn't quite fit into the standards of Heaven. This little misfit offers his humble gift at Christmas and then fears he will be ridiculed when his crude offering is compared to the gifts from the other angels. Then something happens; but you should read the story yourself.

The Littlest Angel Charles Tazewell Paul Micich 9780824985165 Books Reviews

I purchased several copies of this book to give as gifts to my brother and his wife, my son and nieces and nephew as Christmas gifts. I read through one of them and found the story as enthralling as ever. It is one of my favorite Christmas stories and has been for years. I couldn't believe none of them had copies of this book. As they are all raising new families, (well, my brother's is new grandchildren) I felt this would be a wonderful addition to their children's libraries.
THIS REVIEW IS BASED ON THE BOOK ILLUSTRATED BY PAUL MICICH.
While researching various books for my 22 mo old daughter, I decided to purchase this book based on the reviews that I had read. I have never heard of this story (I'm 39) and found the reviews very fascinating. After receiving the book and reading it, I'm thrilled that I decided to purchase it. Although the story is too long for her to sit through it's entirety at the moment, the pictures themselves are SO worthy a shortened version of the story. A beautifully depicted heaven and the antics of a little cherub create a wonderful mixture of humor and wonderment. And finally, the gift of love for Christmas - what better way to share the true meaning of Christmas than His acceptance of a gift for the newborn Jesus given freely and honestly as only a child can give - a small box of the little boy's most priceless treasures. A true Christmas classic.
I understand some of the concerns of the folks who gave this book a bad review and said it wasn't appropriate for children. Truly, I don't plan to read it to my son for many years. But I can tell you that I found a copy in my school's library when I was 8 years old and it touched me deeply in ways that I think were quite positive (and yes, I was already reading at college level).

At the time, I had a mischevious little brother who had nearly died of a virus and my infant sister had barely survived an illness 4 months later. She got sick when we moved to a new place.

For me at that particular time, the idea that children could easily die was very real and the story was actually quite comforting. I could relate to the little one trying to get adjusted to a new home, I could see my brother in his antics, and I could contemplate the possibility of my own future death. Then, as I have always been in the habit of being prepared, I made up my own little box of precious things to take to heaven with me.

When I was paring down stuff in my storage unit recently, I found my little box of treasures again and took it out to share with my son. It includes a well-loved, plush squirrel doll given to me by my Grandma, some doll house furniture that I made with my Grandpa, a rock from their farm, a photo of my Mom and Dad when they were dating, a photo of my brother and sister and I, a music box from Community Playthings, a pen used by my other Grandpa, and a few other items.

The Littlest Angel story makes me cry just thinking about it, yet, I still think that this is a box that I'd like to take to heaven with me, with a few additions such as a wedding photo and perhaps my son's first shoes.

Clearly, the timing of sharing the story is critical, as it could badly shock a child who is unprepared. Similarly, a friend of mine was traumatized as a child by Disney's Bambi because it made him afraid that his mother could die and leave him all alone.

A parent must weigh the appropriateness and timing of many things sharing the story of The Littlest Angel is one of them.

Best wishes with your decision!
Have always loved this edition. Sadly, needed a copy to send friends who just lost a child, though it is primarily a wonderful Christmas story.
I was surprised by the smaller hardback size.
The others I purchased (15 years ago) were large picture book - and there was even a large blue leather type with gold lettering cover Anniversary edition. So disappointed it is out of print😕The size is the only reason I took off 1 star!
The art in this book is beautiful, and the story is so touching! The words maybe a little big for the age group it seems to be directed for but its still fantastic. I had this book as a child and would just flip through the pages for the pictures until I could fully understand it. When I had the ability to read it again as an adult it actually made me cry.
You don't have to be religious to appreciate the fundamental message of what sort of gifts would most please the gods a love of nature and natural things. It was a favorite since it was read to me as a toddler, and I love to gift it to others. In addition to the love of nature, it models what it means to give a gift that is truly personal and heartfelt, more precious than anything money could buy.
Just one of the sweetest books every written or illustrated. Since our family copy mysteriously disappeared from our Christmas box I had to reorder. I was concerned that the charming illustrations would have been changed. They weren't.
