Crossway Books & Bibles The Something Wonderful: A Christmas Story
Long, long ago in Bethlehem, Something Wonderful was about to happen
In their little stable in Bethlehem, Rooster, Crow, Camel, Donkey, and Lamb are all eagerly awaiting The Something Wonderful. No one knows what The Something Wonderful will be, but Donkey is sure they need to plan a party and a parade.
In their little stable in Bethlehem, Rooster, Crow, Camel, Donkey, and Lamb are all eagerly awaiting The Something Wonderful. No one knows what The Something Wonderful will be, but Donkey is sure they need to plan a party and a parade.
But soon there is arguing--over the food, the parade route, and where to place the party table. The animals are so caught up in details, they are no longer thinking about The Something Wonderful. Who will remind them of what's important? Recommended for ages 4 to 8.

I bought this book for my nieces, ages 4 and 6, for Christmas. I was pleasantly surprised at the sweet message of preparing for Christ's birth while keeping visual interest and a catching storyline.

Great for parents and teachers to read to their young children.
If animals could speak this is what they might say. It will allow your child to use his/her imagination.

Yet, in the end will give God the glory for creating animals in the first place.

This is a really cute story about the real meaning of Christmas told through the eyes of animals. I loved the illustrations, and it was a good gift for my Sunday School kids (2 and 3 yr. olds). Although a little long for their attention span, I was hoping it would be something their parents read to them every year until they can read it for themselves.

This was a great story to share with my kids. Will bring it to our Christmas celebration to share with the rest of my family. It a great way to teach kids the real reason we celebrate Christmas and not just ficus on "what did you get for Christmas?"

We bought this book and gave it to our daughter's on Christmas Eve, 2009 to read to them before bed. The story is cute, and the illustrations are awesome! It gets to the true meaning of Christmas, being kind to each other is more important to God than all the parties & gifts you receive. We actually read this book to our daughters all the time, even in the Spring/Summer months.
Definitely worth the money!!!

A reminder for children and adult readers (!) to keep the focus on Jesus, and not get caught up in being ready for the "season" with all the trimmings and short tempers. Illustrations are well done.

Review 16 for The Something Wonderful: A Christmas Story
Overall Rating:

Funny and poignant, the book is sure to delight children and their parents, all while sharing a valuable lesson.In a stable in Bethlehem, Something Wonderful was about to happen. The animals could hardly wait. Donkey took the lead as "Project Manager." He delegated responsibilities of organizing the parade and the party to various barn residents. Everyone got to work. With so much activity and so much to do, it wasn't long until something went wrong. Arguments sprung up between this animal and that. Then something else went wrong. The parade route hit a glitch and no one could agree on the buffet.Finally, Lamb asked a question: Did anyone know what The Something Wonderful was? No one did. "How can we make all these plans when we don't even know what The Something Wonderful will be?" Donkey balked, insisting they must be prepared, but Lamb persuaded the other animals to "watch and wait." He also encouraged them to be nicer to each other and try to get along. "Mr. Donkey, I don't think we have to make a fancy celebration. I think God will give us The Something Wonderful just because He loves us." Rooster added: "We can show God we love Him by being kind to each other." All the animals agreed."And then one night something did happen at the little stable in Bethlehem.A special baby was born there.A little baby boy named Jesus... it was wonderful."Luke 2:1-20 is quoted at the back of the book.Susan Reagan, illustrator, fills this book with warm colors and delightful characters children will love.What I Like: Everything! It offers a gentle reminder to children and adults that the holiday is not about the hub-bub surrounding it; Christmas is about Something much more wonderful.What I Dislike: Nothing.Overall Rating: Excellent.

Review 17 for The Something Wonderful: A Christmas Story
Overall Rating:
Date:January 13, 2006
In a brilliant tale that reads like telephone tag, the rooster tells the cow who tells the camel who tells the donkey who tells the lamb, important news that something wonderful is coming. This fanciful beginning of The Something Wonderful by Karen Hill immediately captures the attention of young readers and young-at-heart adults. All the animals prepare in their own ways for the event, and begin to get annoyed with one another in the process. The lamb wisely suggests that they wait patiently for God to show them the something wonderful, and in the meantime be kind to one another. And as they do so, they are amazed one starry night to see a special baby born in their stablewhich was a truly wonderful something to behold. Written in lilting, yet prudent prose, children will be eager for every page turn. The lovely illustrations by Susan Reagan not only convey the emotions of the animals cozily, but they are also artwork worthy of framing. This timeless message combined with delightful pictures destines The Something Wonderful to become a childrens classic. Anne Walker, Christian Book Previews.com
