How the Hibernators Came to Bethlehem

One by one, the star of Bethlehem wakes each of the hibernating animals, such as Bear, Raccoon, and Ground Squirrel with it' s twinkling touch. As each sleeping beast stirs, the star calls to them, " Bethlehem! Follow me to Bethlehem!" and guides them on a pilgrimage to the holy city leading to a manger cradling a very special child. Caldecott award-winning illustrator Barbara Cooney depicts the animals with a particularly tender touch that will make this a Christmas favorite for a new generation. First published in 1980 and unavailable for 20 years, this new gift book edition of a classic holiday story features a sparkling foil star to highlight light and joy of the season.Farber, Norma is the author of 'How the Hibernators Came to Bethlehem', published 2006 under ISBN 9780802796110 and ISBN 0802796117.
