Juliet David, Jo Parry, illus.
Delightful Christmas picture book with colorful illustrations tells the story of Jesus' birth from the viewpoint of the animals in the stable. Miriam the cow is just settling down for the evening in her cowshed when she hears a knock. It's the rabbit family seeking a warm and dry bed. Thus begins a procession of creatures seeking shelter in the shed, including of course, Mary and Joseph. Miriam is overjoyed when her feeding trough is used for the babe's cradle, and she learns from the shepherds who quickly come to view the infant that he is a very special. As the book ends, the shepherds tell Mary and Joseph that they will never forget this night, and all the creatures of the stable know they won't forget either. 235mm X 255mm size, 28 pp.
