The Christmas Story from the Cat's Point of View
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The Witness is a wonderful story for older children, ages 6 - 13. The story is told from the point of view of a cat, who also gives birth on that long ago Christmas night. By a circuitous route the cat actual takes the story from Christmas, through the visit from the Magi and the flight into Egypt.(You will have to read the book to find out how we end up in Egypt.) Parents should know that the cat kills a rat for the baby Jesus in the context of the story. The pictures are lovely and show a Holy Family who really look like they were born in the Middle East.
