Synopsis

In this re-telling of the Christmas story, children can experience the excitement of the animals in the stable. Here a mother cat is searching frantically for her little lost kitten. Before the night is over there is the crying of a baby and angels singing the praises of the birth of a Savior. The night's events leave a lasting effect on all the animals, especially the cats. It's a refreshing approach to the Christmas story, with a strong, smooth plot, and yet teaches a beautiful lesson.

About this title

From the Publisher:

This story in the mini-genre of the "animals in the stable" touches on themes dear to the hearts of children: the love and care by mothers for their little ones and the birth of Baby Jesus. A short picture and word list at the end of the book describes various Christmas symbols.

This Chirstmas story speaks to everyone, especially:
children as they gain a close-up, richer understanding of the Christmas story
parents, grandparents, and caregivers who want to make this event more alive and meaningful for their children
those who love cats and enjoy animals
those who teach about the birth of Christ and wish to add another dimension to the story
anyone who has lost the wonder and anticipation of Christmas

From the Author:

I feel it is very important to read to and with children often. I hope this story will become a favorite family Christmas read-along for many seasons to come.
