This retelling of the nativity story from the point of view of the sheep is laugh-out-loud funny and full of the warmth of Christmas, a cheeky illustrated chapter book by a bestselling author/illustrator pair. Tonight, the sheep can't sleep. The pasture is floodlit by a strange new star and their shepherds have disappeared. They must have been kidnapped by a UFO, or perhaps they've gone to meet the child rumored to have been born in a stable. The sheep set off to find their shepherds. They'd like to see this child too, and they heard there'll be a party! The sheep hike across country two by two, so none are lost. During this extraordinary night in Bethlehem, the quarrelsome sheep gradually become a real flock that pulls together.
