| Publisher Description: The Christmas pageant doesn't go QUITE as planned in this fantastically funny holiday tale for the forgetful kid in all of us. It's almost time for the nativity play, and everyone has been practicing hard. The narrators know their lines, the Important Angel has brushed her hair, and the audience is in their seats, eagerly awaiting a special Christmas performance. But there's one cast member whose listening skills haven't exactly been the best, and no one's expecting a spare shepherd to steal the show... This boldly illustrated picture book is full of festive fun, and a cheerful reminder that the unexpected can also be unexpectedly entertaining. |
