A charming stocking stuffer. It may be early to be a tad early to be thinking about Christmas but if you  enjoy reading to your child, here’s a book that may be a present to you both. Three Wise Animals by Robert G. Seal (Guardian Angel Publishing) takes the Nativity story and adds a dash of The Lion King creating a classic Christmas story that combines the eternal truths of positive faith with heartfelt action-adventure that parents will actually enjoy reading to their own young lambs. Beautifully-illustrated by film and TV animator Jeff West, Three Wise Animals is Highly-Recommended. 

Synopsis: With thoughtful prose and stunning illustrations, Three Wise Animals tells the Biblically-inspired epic story of the journey of three young friends-Louis the brave sheep who refuses to follow the herd, Joshua the jokester ferret who loves to act silly, and Mahmoud the pacifist bull who would never hurt a living thing – as they make their way to Bethlehem to deliver their unique gifts to the baby Jesus, the newborn King. But danger lurks ahead for the three young friends as King Herod’s wolf pack, led by the sinister Caviel, try to stop them from reaching their destination.

Three Wise Animals is now available for purchase in Christian bookstores across the U.S. and Canada and online via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Guardian Angel Publishing.
