A child asks her father what decorated Jesus' stable that first Christmas morning. Her father replies, "Only a star." But the book goes on to show how the brightness of the star illuminates the creatures creeping and moving around the stable (spider web, dragonfly, scarab, doves, donkey, jerboas, snail and nightingale).
On the last two pages the authors gives more information about each of the animals that lived in the Holy Land that first Christmas morning.
I like when Christmas books add to one's knowledge of what life was like back when Christ lived on earth.
*Highly recommend.
