An acceptable telling of the Biblical story (with the omission of the visit by the Three Wise Men to Herod's court and its consequences). Quotes the angel directly, but otherwise the language is at a good level.
Tells the story of the famous letter by Virginia O'Hanlon to The New York Sun, in 1897, which was answered by newspaper employee Francis P. Church.

Could be read by a 3rd grader with some help.
Wikipedia: The music is by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, his Opus 71, an 1892 two-act "fairy ballet". The plot is an adaptation of E. T. A. Hoffmann's 1816 short story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. The ballet's first choreographer was Marius Petipa.… (plus d'informations)
