Illustrated by
Margie Moore.
After being invited by an angel "to the stable," Bartholomew Mouse follows the other animals toward the new star in the sky. The writing is a bit precious, but the religious aspects of this Nativity story never overwhelm the text, and readers will be drawn to the delicate illustrations and to Bartholomew's struggle to carry his small gifts for the Prince through the snow.
