That Night

Two thousand years ago, on a bitterly cold snowy evening in Bethlehem, a baby was born in a barn. We know the story only because of the myths that have arisen about it over many centuries-but there was a witness. Grandfather Bunny saw the story unfold with his own eyes. This is the tale he shares with his own grandchildren. We watch the farmer taking in three traveling princes and leaving a poor tradesman and his wife to sleep with the animals in the barn: the exhausted donkey, the suspicious aristocratic camels of the princes, the cow down from the high pasture, and the sheep in from the fields with their two keepers. When the young wife gives birth to a beautiful baby boy on the frozen dark evening, they all try to help. But none can play the role of Grandfather Bunny in saving the baby on His first night of life. This charming story, beautifully illustrated, tells us Grandfather Bunny's story of That Night.
