Seeing the title of ''The Animals' Christmas'' I had expected this story to provide perhaps an alternate perspective of the Christmas story. However, although the illustrations have lots of animals throughout, the story itself sticks to the traditional telling, with a couple of animal references seemingly thrown in.

For another nativity story you might also like to try [[The First Christmas by Jan Pienkowski]]
