Summary: I can't wait to read this one to my nephews...
Review: What makes a great children's book? It's that combination of words and pictures, action and magic, that you find in this desert story. This is such a creative and surprising tale. It starts out scary - describing all the things in the dessert at night that prowl and sneak. And then all of those creatures come to a group of travelers, one by one, and dance with a little boy. I cannot recommend this book more highly. Each page is a new adventure with a new animal, and it's the perfect length to keep your child interested.

Summary: Beautiful on many levels
Review: The story is wonderful, it had to spring from the mind of Madeleine L'Engle. It is both solid in Faith, and magical, with creatures like dragons and unicorns. It gives a unique glimpse of Christ as a child, both innocent and powerful, dancing with the wild, dangerous creatures of the desert on a moonlit night. We gave out several copies at Christmas, and it was well-received by all.

Review: This book depicts a special night in the desert, when all the beasts danced and bowed before the Christ child. I love to read this story to my kids at Christmas. The pictures are the best.

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: This book is one of my favorites of all time. As usual, Madeleine L'Engle manages to capture the magnificance of our Creator in the most powerful and thought provoking ways. I love this book so much that I brought it to life on our stage two years ago through storytelling and dance. It was a huge success. Everyone from 2-100 can relate to this story.
Sadly, I see that it is not longer in print and I just cannot understand why...
