My Thoughts:
This was a fun take on a classic story. The illustrations by Jane Chapman really help show the chaos of all those visitors to the manger. As adults it kind of makes you think - what was it like? I really liked this story and the rhyming that helps the story have a smooth flow. It is a perfect addition to our holiday book reading.
