A Blessed Bethlehem Birth is the Nativity story as told by Abraham and Anna Mousenstern, a mouse couple who lived in the little stable behind the village inn. Their adventure started like any other night. It was quiet and really rather boring. As per usual, the couple chatted with their friends and neighbors with who they shared the stable.
Grandpa Owl told the group that soon many travelers would be passing through their area. A census had been called and many people were traveling to their area to be counted. Indeed, the stable had several visitors that evening. First, a dove brought news of an impending blessed birth that the friends would witness. Then, the human visitors arrived.
A lovely rendition of the birth of Jesus. The animal characters are quite sweet and the picture nice and colorful. A great story to revisit for the upcoming Christmas season.
