The Star, the Story of the First Christmas
This is the classic nativity story with a main cast of animal characters accompanying Mary and Joseph to the inn at Bethlehem and are there for the birth of Jesus. In The Star, a small but brave donkey named Bo yearns for a life beyond his daily grind at the village mill. One day he finds the courage to break free, and finally goes on the adventure of his dreams. On his journey he teams up with Ruth, a loveable sheep who has lost her flock, and Dave a dove with lofty aspirations. Along with three wisecracking camels and some eccentric stable animals, Bo and his new friends follow the Star and become accidental heroes in the greatest story ever told---the first Christmas. 144 pages, softcover; recommended for ages 8 to 12 years.
