In David Christiana's spirited interpretation of this beloved Christmas carol, the heavenly hosts have to push, pull, and prod a pack of ornery critters just so you can have your nativity scene (and a couple of giggles, too)!
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-The classic Christmas carol is presented as a play (or perhaps a musical) by a group of homely angels and sometimes reluctant animals. The angels, who look like trolls with their big noses and feet, bring mother animals and their offspring onstage, using ropes and brute strength in the case of the donkey. Two tap-dancing pigs in top hats add a bit of slapstick to the production, which is then contradicted by the appearance of a perfectly normal, serenely sleeping baby Jesus, lovingly gazed at by the eccentric creatures. Rendered in muted watercolors, the depictions of the animals are endearing but the angels are rather unsettling and the overall package is not always in keeping with the tone of the original.-E. M.

Adorable, singable book,

This review is from: O Come, All Ye Faithful (Hardcover)
This is an adorable book you can sing to your kids. The illustrations depict some crazy "angels" trying to get the animals onto the "stage" to adore the Christ child. I especially love the donkey, whose rope stretches across several pages.
