Seattle Examiner Reviews Humphrey's First Christmas

12/18/2012

Gail Welborn of the Seattle Examiner wrote a wonderful review/article about HUMPHREY'S FIRST CHRISTMAS.

EXCERPT: "Carol’s heart-warming, lighthearted Christmas narrative combines with her breathtaking illustrations to make this a Christmas classic I would recommend for any age and faith."

CAROL HEYER'S original story of a surprise gift from Humphrey, a grumpy, albeit loveable camel, to a “most beauteous and exalted king” makes a perfect addition to any family’s Christmas library. With a children's story about a gift from the heart that carries a surprise ending and important Christmas message about the true meaning of Christmas in its closing pages.

THE FIREFLIES BLOG continues to feature HUMPHREY'S FIRST CHRISTMAS, with a new article/craft, Humphrey Blanket Ornaments. These beautiful sculptures were created by the Mini Monets! You can see some of the art works in these pictures!

Humphrey's Blanket Ornament - Mini Monets Create!
After reading the absolutely adorable book Humphrey's First Christmas by Carol Heyer, the Mini Monets [my First Fridays' Art Workshop students] created Humphrey's most prized possession... his blanket! And this is not just any ordinary blanket - this is a blanket fit for a King! As we read about this heart-warming camel with his silly grin and his schemes to obtain a new carpet blanket, the students discussed how they would feel, meeting baby Jesus for the first time.

Carrying one of the three wise men who are bringing gifts of gold, frankincen_se, and myrrh to the baby Jesus, one would think that Humphrey would be full of joy. Instead, this regal beast of kings is grumpy, grumbling and disgruntled! Why, he's even complaining about his name, thinking -

Beloved
Most Beauteous
and Exalted King of All should be my name...
