Publisher's summary

Learn about the story of the First Christmas with iMindsJNR audio learning series for younger minds. The French Revolution came about because of a long-held displeasure at how the rich lived. While the rich lived comfortably, the common people were forced to pay taxes too high for them to pay. And there was not enough food produced for them to eat. French peasants became so impoverished that visitors to France said many of them were as skinny as skeletons.

In May 1789, King Louis XVI called a meeting of priests, lords and common people. At the meeting it was clear the common people wanted more power. They felt they deserved it as they were the only class required to pay taxes.

Perfect to engage, entertain and broaden young thinkers.. iMindsJNR brings knowledge to your MP3 with 5 minute information segments for growing minds.

Make your MP3 smarter with iMindsJNR MindTracks, intersperse with music and enjoy learning a little about a lot.. knowledge to help shape young minds.

Simplistic But Good

This five minute listen hits only on the simplest premises of the First Christmas and the birth of Christ, but is a good starter, especially for children to gain a grasp of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus. I was glad that included in this short is the fact that the birth of Christ ushered in the faith that has become the largest and most important in the world.

Interesting!

Interesting to know the story of Mary, Josheph and the birth of Jesus, in other words, the First Christmas.
