Gr 2-5–Hub brings playfulness and laughter to the story of the night Jesus was born in this Christmas tale for young chapter book readers. One night, a flock of sheep wake to find their shepherds missing. In a panic, they try to figure out what to do. The flock finds out that a special baby was born in a manger, and they decide to journey to find the baby. Along the way, they meet other animals and face obstacles to get to the newborn. Funny and lighthearted, this book takes the familiar Christian story and gives it a new life. Readers will enjoy the colorful illustrations of the comical adventures of the flock on their journey to find the manger. This beginning chapter book is perfect for readers who are looking for a holiday story with a humorous twist.
VERDICT Add this to holiday collections. Young elementary readers who are in the mood for a Christmas story will love this title.
