The Lion Book of Five-Minute Christmas Stories
John Goodwin, illustrated by Richard Johnson
What did the donkey think as he carried Mary to Bethlehem? Or the angels as their choir rehearsal was interrupted for a sudden and impromptu performance to a group of shepherds sitting on a hillside?
In these Christmas stories, John Goodwin uses a witty storytelling style to add an amusing twist to the events surrounding the birth of Jesus, interpreting ten episodes from different characters' points of view - Herod's story is told by Fezulk, one of his security guards and in a leap of imagination there's even a tale from the first Christmas tree!
Published by Lion, the book is aimed at five to seven year olds. To order a copy from Amazon, click the link below:
