About the Book

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.

He has written and illustrated many best-selling children's books for all ages, including picture books, junior fiction, and the widely acclaimed Tickle My Ears series of board books.

Review :
"Through humorous third-person narration that purposefully occludes the size of the flock, Duck's Backyard collaborators Hub and Mühle explore Christmas through the lens of a bonded animal family in this unique and sweet holiday tale."—starred, Publishers Weekly "A Christmas tale to hold the whole family spellbound."—starred, Kirkus Reviews "Funny and lighthearted, this book takes the familiar Christian story and gives it a new life. Readers will enjoy the colorful illustrations of the comical adventures of the flock on their journey to find the manger. This beginning chapter book is perfect for readers who are looking for a holiday story with a humorous twist."—School Library Journal
