One Wise Sheep: An Untraditional Christmas Story
The sheep are grazing in the field when they notice a strange star in the sky, so bright it is almost like dawn. The sheep need to find out what is going on and go to where the shepherds stay, but they are gone. A goat tells one of the sheep that a child has been born in Bethlehem, and this is a very big deal. It is something that has been long awaited and will change the world. People have come from all over. The sheep decide they need to go to Bethlehem where the child is to see what the big deal is. It is a long and arduous journey. The sheep learn much about each other and about themselves along the way.
If you are looking for a traditional story of the nativity, this is not that. First, it is told from the sheep’s point of view. Second, it is very tongue-in-cheek and funny and a bit irreverent. There are cartoonish illustrations scattered throughout the book, and it looks like a children’s book, but adults are sure to enjoy it every bit as much as (maybe more than) youngsters. Don’t miss this one.
