Illustrated by
Anna Dewdney.
First published in 1952, Brown's simple rhyming couplets tell the Nativity story as a baby is welcomed by a barn full of animals. Dewdney's new illustrations for this edition, created using oil paint, pastel, pencil, and marker, are more blurry than gauzy, with a muddy contrast between light and dark colors on many of the double-page spreads.

Black-and-white drawings by various artists illustrate the stories. Review covers these New Peach Street Mudders Library titles: All-Star Fever, The Catcher's Mask, Centerfield Ballhawk, The Hit-Away Kid, Man Out at First, Shadow over Second, The Spy on Third Base, Stranger in Right Field, and Zero's Slider.
