Poems or books that focus on the little things or take a new perspective are really beautiful. Throughout this book, the author focuses first on the star but then on all of the other animals. I didn't realize until the end of the book the amount of research and accuracy on the animals there was. These aren't your typical Christmas story animals but ones that would live around that area. You can read more about all the animals at the back of the book.
