Master storyteller Roger Robbennolt captures the hearts of people of all ages with magical stories of a hodgepodge creche. This collection of interwoven tales begins when a ceramic unicorn is added to the manger scene—because, of course, "no one should ever desert a unicorn on Christmas Eve." With the unicorn's help, the tales unfold: "The Outcast Pig," "The Goat Who Gave," "The Gobbling Clown," "The Ram Who Remained," and twelve more stories of the roles animals played in the birth and life of Jesus. Whether you read these imaginative tales to yourself or read them aloud with children, The Unicorn at the Manger will bring joy and wonder for years to come.

"Well suited for family reading". -- Publishers Weekly Master storyteller Roger Robbennolt evokes the spirit of the Christmas classics with The Unicorn at the Manger, a collection of imaginative, heartfelt tales for this holy season. These interwoven stories all begin with the new creche being made for the annual Christmas service. A ceramic unicorn is the first animal crafted for the manger scene by a member of the congregation and delivered to Rog's office: "I gently placed him in my pocket and hurried to the back of the sanctuary.... A few minutes into the service the children came tumbling down the aisle for their special story. . . . To my amazement, the following tale poured from my pocket and my heart". The many memorable characters of The Unicorn at the Manger -- the autocratic cow, the devoted mother goat, the outcast pig, the brave ram, the kind snail -- will help you remember the reason for the season. These are stories filled with compassion and love that will be cherished from generation to generation.
