There was nothing the innkeeper liked more than a good night's sleep.
But one night there was a knock at the door.
"No room," said the innkeeper.
"But we're tired and have traveled through night and day."
"There's only the stable around the back. Here's two blankets. Sign the register."
So they signed it: "Mary and Joseph."
Then he shut the door, climbed the stairs, got into bed, and went to sleep.
But then, later, there was another knock at the door. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

There's no peace when your guest is a special baby,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jesus' Christmas Party (Hardcover)
The simple line drawings are accessilble to all. the innkeeper certainly didn't know what he was in for when he let Mary and Joseph use the stable. Despite the bright light and all the interruptions the innkeeper finally gets in the spirit of things. A short, sweet look at the joy everyone had at the birth of a special baby.

Adorable pictures and a cute version of the Christmas story,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jesus' Christmas Party (Hardcover)
The poor inn keeper keeps getting woken up because two tired travelers need a place to stay, they need blankets, there is a bright light in the sky, three wise mencome looking for a baby...finally he storms down to the barn to give them a piece of his mind but stops when he sees the "lovely" baby. In his excitement he runs and wakes all the people staying at the inn to tell them about the baby!

I Love this Book,
By Dimples (Grosse Pointe Park, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jesus' Christmas Party (Hardcover)
I love this book. I bought three, two to give away and one to keep. I have it sitting on the coffee table. People pick it up, think it's a cute kid's book and read through it. I can always tell when they get to the end...there is a little sigh and a look of peace! It reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. That our lives are hectic, just as the inn keepers night was, but he took time to celebrate the baby's birth!
