On a cold starry night above the hills of Bethlehem, a hungry fox is looking for some supper. Suddenly, the sky is full of light and there is the sound of angels singing. What on earth is happening and what unforgettable sight is the fox about to see? Nick Butterworth and Mick Inkpen’s delightful nativity story.
This is the Christmas story told to us by a fox who went out looking for his supper and then heard the sound of angels singing.
Let's turn quickly to our first feely picture and meet the fox.
He is at the top sideways on and facing the right.
As you move in from the top left first you meet his magnificent fluffy tail which he is waving in the air.
Foxes usually keep their tails low near to the ground because they don't want them seen when they're hunting but here the fox is very excited.
