The Lion Book of Five-minute Christmas Stories by John Goodwin

This book presents 10 stories retelling the events surrounding the birth of Jesus, told from different characters' points of view : the donkey who carries Mary to Bethlehem taking pride in his job; the caring Innkeeper's wife who notices that Mary needs a bit of comfort; and even the choir of angels whose rehearsal is intereruppted due to an important and sudden concert they must give!
