Thewonder of the Nativity is capturedthrough the eyes of a cat in this magical holiday classic Michael Morpurgo called "the best Christmas story since Dickens" A long time ago, in a faraway land, a cat lived in a barn. Of course, he had to share it with all the other animals: cows, goats, chickens, and mice!

Beautiful watercolors and the cat's simple words create a moving retelling of the story of the birth of Jesus.
