Publisher's Synopsis
The fox, the cat, the mouse and the magpie. Each of these creatures witnesses a special event in the life of a special man called Jesus. Four classic tales from two of HarperCollins' top children's authors, now in one volume. Grown-ups can find it hard to believe in miracles but in these four special incidents from the life of Jesus, God's smaller creatures understand exactly what's happening. A fox roaming the hills round Bethlehem one night visits a new baby King. The cat who purrs for food at a wedding party is happy when Jesus changes the water into wine. A ship's mouse is amazed when a mysterious man calms a storm at sea. And a magpie who loves to steal gold rings is given the chance, like the rich thief Zacchaeus, to give back his stolen treasure when Jesus comes to town. Butterworth & Inkpen are two of the world's best-selling children's authors. These four wonderful Animal Tales are published for the first time in one volume.
