Product Description

The main road out of Nazareth is busy. Very busy. For Mary and Joseph, travelling to the little town of Bethlehem for the census, this means taking the smaller, bumpy, winding road through the hills. Will they get there safely? Will they get there before Mary’s baby is born? And how will the Three Kings fare? Or the shepherds? They want to see the baby too.

Niki Davies’ playful nativity is hugely engaging and accessible, complete with seven fantastic songs and a delightful script suitable for ages 4 to 8.

There’s a donkey jam on the main road from Nazareth, so how will Mary and Joseph get to Bethlehem? Their only choice is to take the little back road: a very long, lumpy, bumpy, bendy, hilly road. Will they get to Bethlehem on time? And will the kings catch up with the Bethlehem Star who is now also on the B road?

Meanwhile, the donkeys on the main road are very fed up indeed. They’ve heard that a special baby is going to be born in Bethlehem but will they get to see him if they’re stuck in the jam? After much excitement, disgruntlement and humour, all’s well that ends well: everybody, including the donkeys, make it to Bethlehem in time to see the wonderful new baby boy.
