Description
There
is a legend that describes how, at midnight on Christmas Eve, all
creatures are granted the power of speech for one hour. In this rich
collection, Lee Bennett Hopkins and a dozen other poets imagine what
responses they might offer. The poems represent a diverse group of
animals, but all come together with one singular purpose: celebrating
the joy of the miraculous event.
This collection of graceful
poems provides readers with a Nativity story unlike any other — at times
gently humorous, at times profound, but always inviting readers to
appreciate the wonder of Christmas. This book is a perfect gift for the
holiday season.
