An absolutely perfect first Christmas book, this gentle story of animals visiting a swaddled Jesus is full of simple, softly colored illustrations and quiet animal sounds. The animals individually file up and welcome the Child with their own soft language, except for the donkey, who is afraid his bray will be too loud. When he finally can't help blurting out his noisy ''Hee-aw! Hee-aw!'' the unexpected sound elicits a gurgling laugh from baby Jesus. Encouraged, the donkey snuggles close to keep the baby warm and cozy. It is the donkey's sweet presence that finally brings sleep to the Baby in the crib.
It will be a rare child who can resist the animals, their sounds, and the curious, straw-filled bed and Child that were part of the first Christmas. This is a very sweet book.
