About this title

Review:

When a bright star appears in the sky to tell the world all about the birth of a very important baby, everyone from the humblest shepherd to the wisest of wise men wants to go and greet the newborn child. Everyone, that is except one little angel who, despite the warnings from the other angels, refuses to attend.

Ruth Brown, whose The Tale of the Monstrous Toad was shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal in 1997, has created another delightful picture book which relates the story of the Nativity from a different standpoint. The little angel might not intend to take part in the proceedings, but manages to have an important role in events and brings her own brand of joy to the occasion. With warmth and expression Ruth Brown's illustrations bring this appealing heroine to life and ensure that this will remain a popular choice for the festive season. (Ages 4 to 8)

Synopsis:

A Christmas story in which everyone - shepherds and wise men - are making their way to see the baby Jesus. But there is one little angel who isn't keen on going along. A picture book illustrated with full colour artwork.
