Family Favorite,
By Karen Mullen "khmullen" (Lynden, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Certain Small Shepherd (Owlet Book) (Paperback)
This book is a family favorite. We read it aloud nearly every Christmas, along with "A Christmas Carol," "Gift of the Magi" and "Whistlin' Dick's Christmas."I can never read it without choking up, and my kids end up finishing it for me. A real heart-warmer.
