Product Description
Book Description
Michael Foreman captures the wonder of the Nativity through the eyes of a cat in this beautiful picture book. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Synopsis
A long time ago, in a faraway land, a cat lived in a barn. He had to share it with the other animals: cows and goats, chickens and mice. But that was alright, he was a good mouser. Then, one wintry night, the door flew open and in came a man and a woman, to take shelter from the snow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 12 Nov 2004
By A Customer
I read this book the other day, and thought it was wonderful! It tells the Christmas story from the perspective of a cat who stays in the stable at Bethlehem. The cat is certainly very grumpy, and moans about all of the other animals. It's very funny, and children would certainly enjoy it. Also has a great deal of potential for work in a Primary classroom.

4.0 out of 5 stars The nativity story from a refreshing viewpoint, 8 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Cat in the Manger (Paperback)
The nativity story as told by the resident cat in a certain Bethlehem stable. Telling the tale in an informal, chatty style, this cool cat certainly has attitude! A delightful retelling of an old favourite story with charming illustrations that kept my young children amused for ages looking at the finer details. Fun for big people to read aloud (the text just demands to be read in a Bronx accent) and for children to read to themselves. Gorgeous Christmas gift for those who still believe in the Christmas magic but loses one star for a slightly odd ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect Christmas gift, 3 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Presenting the birth of Jesus through the eyes of the resident mouse-hunting cat was a very original idea. It is so difficult nowadays to make this story enchanting and attractive but the author rose to the challenge with success. The illustrations are, as always with Michael Foreman, absolutely beautiful. A must for all picture-book lovers even if, like me, they are not religious.
