When the shepherds go to see the Baby Jesus, their sheep are left alone in the pasture wondering what is going on. The sheep hear rumors that a Baby has been born, and they decide to go see for themselves, but they are a little confused. They heard that the Baby is a girl! The sheep get into all kinds of silly situations on their way to Bethlehem, but no matter what happens they always stick together.

This book is really funny, and the sheep are hilariously stupid! They really have no clue what is going on most the time. But I don't know that the humor was exactly my style. It's a little bit too irreverent for me, I guess. 

There is this one scene where these drunk camels are telling the sheep that they didn't like the wine that was served because it was cheap wine. I don't know why that little bit had to be in a children's story. Very weird. 

The sheep decide at the end to lie to everyone about seeing the Baby Jesus, and there are no consequences for their deception. Not a good example to young children to encourage lying and getting away with it. Again, very weird to include lying in a story about the Incarnate Truth. 

The story doesn't follow the actual historic events, but reimagines history into a new silly story where the wise men show up on the very night that Jesus is born, and Mary and Joseph immediately take the Baby to Egypt. So the events of several years all happen on one night in this story. It's fine, because it's just a story to be funny, but I wonder if young children might get confused.
