The Christmas Cat

(3) PS Illustrated by Amy June Bates. Mary, Joseph, and the stable animals try to soothe a crying baby Jesus on the night of his birth. But it is a small kitten, which nuzzles the babe's neck and emits a "calm, contented purr," that finally stops Jesus's tears. Textured watercolor, gouache, and pencil illustrations in soft hues add a peaceful quality to a sweet Nativity bedtime story.
