(4) K-3 Illustrated by Simon Mendez. A kitten, lamb, calf, donkey, and some mice together follow a bright star to the nearby stable. There they find "a very special baby" sleeping in the hay. In this gentle, sentimental Nativity story, the baby animals are bathed in golden light in the pastel, watercolor-pencil, and mixed-media illustrations.
