Tonight, the sheep can't sleep. The pasture is floodlit by a strange new star and their shepherds have disappeared.

They must have been kidnapped by a UFO—or perhaps they've gone to meet the child rumored to have been born in a stable. The sheep set off to find their shepherds. They'd like to see this child too, and they heard there'll be a party!

The sheep hike across country two by two, so none are lost. During this extraordinary night in Bethlehem, the quarrelsome sheep gradually become a real flock that pulls together.

This amusing retelling of the Christmas story through the eyes of the sheep reinforces the season's theme—be a little nicer to each other, forgive your quarrels, and listen to everybody, especially the children.
