[.ca] Tracks in the Straw: Tales Spun from the Manger (ISBN 0806690143)

A necessity for Christmas!:
"Tracks In the Snow" is a delight as our eyes open a little wider each time we return to enjoy Ted Loder's brilliant collection of nativity stories and modern fables. As the wood shavings fly, we find ourselves puzzling with Joseph in his loneliness as he wrestled with the mystery of Jesus' birth; we sing from the rafters in the Bethlehem stable with the swallow, and grumble with the hired hand tent-bearer. And what about the day we smashed the family heirloom jug? This enchanting and challenging book is a must for this and all future Christmases.
