Mary’s Review: A delightful board book  about the animals in the manger singing their songs to the Christ child.  Every animal from donkey to sheep to the birds in the rafters want to sing to the special baby.  All of them  but the donkey.  He was so sad.  What could he sing that wouldn’t sound terrible?  What would the baby’s reaction be?  You will be surprised!

This book also has the sweetest illustrations.  My favorite is Mary, Joseph and the Christ Child.
I recommend this book for ages 2-5.
