The Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog / Dave Barry 116 p.

The Christmas pageant at St. John's Episcopal Church is a very big deal in 1960. Mrs. Elkins, a professional, who used to be in The Theater in New York, is in charge. Doug Barnes and his fellow shepherds have a new job this year. As wise men, they blew it when while horsing around the vase for myrrh was broken and a rolodex was the nearest substitute. This year their dancing antics may bring the house down. The girl he is interested in is playing Mary opposite Joseph played by a smart, athletic, and handsome guy. The family dog is doing very poorly. Doug’s sister is an angel and loves the dog above all else. Dad gets a flat tire, which means Doug may not make the pageant at all. Its Christmas miracles do happen. A warm funny Christmas story that may be enjoyed by all.
