Summary: AN IMAGINATIVE RETELLING OF A TRADITIONAL STORY
Review: Hearts will be warmed by this imaginative retelling of the traditional Christmas story. Mr. Foreman's moonlit illustrations are perfect accompaniments for this long ago tale about a cold winter's night. According to the cat who lived in a barn in a distant land it was an exceptionally frigid night. It was so icy that the feline was glad for the warm company of the cows. But just as the cat was growing comfortable the barn doors flew open to admit a man, a woman, and a donkey. Before long the animals heard a baby cry, and then other visitors arrived - shepherds, camels with their masters who were dressed like kings. Oddly enough all of these people knelt in the mud before the baby. That was a night that brought much change to the world, and even to the cat who was in the barn when a baby was born. Young animal lovers will especially enjoy this familiar story told through the eyes of a very observant cat.
