Description | The book, by Nola Buck and Felicia Bond, measures approximately 6 inches by 6½ inches and incorporates seven heavy paper pages plus the cover held together by a white, plastic, spiral binding. The front of the book bears the title, along with the names of the author and illustrator and shows the manger scene, while the back of the book reads, “HarperFestival A Division of HarperCollins Publishers***Manufactured in China.” |
Problem | The book, which is for small children, depicts the Christmas nativity story and incorporates textured surfaces on each picture page.

The plastic jewels may separate during use and are small parts, which may present a potentially serious risk of being aspirated into a small child’s lungs. |
