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.This amusing retelling of the Christmas story through the eyes of the sheep reinforces the season''s theme—be a little nicer to each other, forgive your quarrels, and listen to everybody, especially the children.
