The Manger Mouse & a Giveaway!

**Disclaimer: I have received products to try from Ambassador International & am simply sharing my personal opinion which may vary from yours. I was not compensated for this review.


Every year, we celebrate the birth of Jesus on Christmas day. And we often recount the story of Joseph & Mary, and their journey to the stable in Bethlehem where our Savior was born. But I can almost guarantee you, that you haven't heard this version before...


The Manger Mouse is a wonderful children's book centered around Matty, a meek stable mouse. Much like Mary, Matty is called upon to play an integral role for the arrival of our Savior. But just when he thinks he has fulfilled his duty, there comes a task that only he can do. 
Debbie Wall's illustrations are beautiful!

I have to say that this is the cutest version of this story that I have ever heard! Sarah Martin Byrd does an amazing job relating the events of Jesus' birth through the eyes of a stable mouse & his mother. And even though the other animals in the stable are only occasionally mentioned, the fact that they had names themselves seemed to thoroughly entertain my kids. 

Would you love a copy of The Manger Mouse for a special child in your life?

One lucky winner will receive a hardback copy of The Manger Mouse, by Sarah Martin Byrd.


The giveaway will conclude on at 12:00 a.m. est on Saturday 12/20/14. Winners will be announced via rafflecopter & in a separate blog post which will be published no later than 3:00 p.m. on Saturday 12/20/14. Winners will also be notified via email & announced on the Smith and Blessings facebook page. Winners will have 24 hours to submit information, which will then be passed on to Ambassador International for distribution of product. If 24 hours has lapsed, a new winner will be picked & then will also have 24 hours to submit their information. Smith and Blessings is not responsible for prize shipment.
 *Giveaway open to U.S. residents only.
