3.5 stars --I'm not religious, but I appreciated the peaceful feel of this little book as well as the wonderful illustrations of the animals. Farm animals such as the ones in this book are the most overlooked and underappreciated animals, and materials such as this remind readers that they play an important role in the Christian tradition and help bring them into the fold of awareness and concern.
A Christmas themed board book with a handle! and a cd. The animals in the manger tell of the gifts they gave the Christ child when he was born. The cd contains a song called, "The Friendly Beasts" as well as 11 other songs.
