Although I wouldn't describe Cat in the Manger as one of my favorites, when it comes to picture-books describing animals involved in or witnessing the birth of Jesus - I much prefer titles like The Friendly Beasts: A Traditional Christmas Carol, or The Animals' Christmas Carol - it is still fairly engaging. The artwork is quite lovely - I liked Mary's face, as she was looking down at her newborn baby - and I thought it was sweet (albeit completely unlikely) how the infant's message of peace is enacted in the cat's life. Recommended to young readers looking for Christmas stories featuring cats. ( )
