They are confused and skeptical, especially when Owl tries to convince them that there are good human beings. He tells them about Christmas, which he calls ""the Feast of Peace and Love."" Sheep points out that humans eat meat during this celebration, and Owl has to agree. ""People,"" he says, ""have their own definition of peace and love."" The others still aren't convinced, until a man and a child come out of the forest and leave the animals food so that they, too, can celebrate. Litty's elegant pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations effectively portray the stark, chilly landscape, and the animals all display distinctive personalities. The text is a tad stilted, yet there is humor, and the story does have an ultimately satisfying conclusion. Line justification changes from page to page, which makes the text a little difficult to read. Adults looking for a book to start a discussion about human nature and the true meaning of the season may find it worth the effort.-M. A. Copyright 2001 CahnersBusiness Information, Inc. Book Description It is a bitterly cold Christmas Eve, and in all the snowy landscape there is not a scrap of food to be had. The woodland creatures huddle together, cold and hungry, as Owl tells them the story of Christmas and its promise of peace and love among mankind. The other creatures are at first skeptical. In their experience humans are cruel predators to be feared and avoided. Then, to their surprise and delight, Owl's words prove true. A man and a boy come trudging through the snow, bringing food to the starving animals and the spirit of Christmas to all.

Includes a note from the authorIt is often said that life is a journey, and it’s true. But sometimes it’s hard to know which path to follow when signs point in so many directions. In this beautifully illustrated book, Peter H. Reynolds once again encourages readers to observe, to wonder, and to consider diverging from the well-worn path — to pursue their dreams. Originally published more than ten years ago, THE NORTH STAR has had a profound effect on its many readers. This edition, featuring all new art, celebrates the book’s own voyage connecting people around the world. It has inspired classroom activities, a musical, and countless thoughtful journeys.

The Star is a short, sweet burst of poetic storytelling where we are introduced to a tiny star-the focus of the tale-who wishes to be bigger and to play a more important role in the night sky. The star's search for its purpose illustrates an important lesson for the young readers: everyone's powers and talents-however seemingly insignificant-are enough to make a difference.In this, we find the story's main theme: that everyone has a special purpose that draws on their unique potential....

At the dawn of time a new star was created. It was no brighter or more beautiful than any of the other stars studding the deep darkness of space. But this new star had a special purpose. It was there to announce the birth of a new king, a king whose life changed the world forever. The New Star follows the life of that star from its creation until it dies at the time when Jesus died on the cross. Of course, that was not the end of the story. Jesus rose again, the bright and morning star. Beautiful illustrations of stars and planets whirling through space appear on every spread. When one lifts the flap, the story of humankind and God's work with humankind appears from the Creation through the Resurrection.
