(3) K-3 Illustrated by Leo Dillon & Leo Dillon & Diane Dillon & Diane Dillon. Soft, full-page illustrations depict Martha, a lost, pregnant cow, searching for a warm place on a cold winter's night. Smaller illustrations resembling woodcuts portray a parallel journey, made by a man and his pregnant wife. The two stories intersect when both cow and woman find shelter and give birth in the same small shed. Text and art tell a lyrical, unusual Nativity story.
Reviewer: Charlotte S. Huck
