The story of the birth of Jesus is retold for the very young in this beautifully illustrated book that will be treasured for years to come. Youngsters will delight in the story of some very noisy animals spending an evening in a very ordinary stable in a little place called Bethlehem, along with a very extraordinary baby whose name was Jesus. Children will love the repetitive nature of the noises made by the animals on that first Christmas night. A memorable way for little ones to first encounter the story of God becoming flesh and dwelling among us.
