On cover: An untraditional Christmas story.
Summary: 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 rumoured 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 comic 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.
