Последняя овца.Самая правдивая история о Рождестве

Semʹ umoritelʹno neukli͡uzhikh i raznokharakternykh ovet͡s vpervye v zhizni ostai͡utsi͡a bez pastukhov i uznai͡ut, chto v selenii nepodalëku rodilsi͡a mladenet͡s, kotoryĭ i͡akoby vsekh spasët. Ovt͡sy reshai͡ut ne dozhidatʹsi͡a, kogda vernutsi͡a pastukhi, i sami otpravli͡ai͡utsi͡a v putʹ - iskatʹ khlev, gde poi͡avilsi͡a na svet chudesnyĭ rebënok. Vot tolʹko deĭstvovatʹ samostoi͡atelʹno - kak soobshcha, tak i poroznʹ - oni ne umei͡ut, a kogo imenno i zachem naveshchatʹ, tozhe ne ochenʹ-to predstavli͡ai͡ut. A eshchë ne mogut kak sleduet pereschitatʹ drug druga, chtoby v puti nikto ne poteri͡alsi͡a.V svoeĭ novoĭ knige Ulʹrikh Khub, priznannyĭ nemet͡skiĭ detskiĭ pisatelʹ i avtor bestsellera "Kovcheg otkhodit rovno v vosemʹ", snova obrashchaetsi͡a k bibleĭskomu si͡uzhetu, interpretirui͡a ego s iskli͡uchitelʹnym i͡umorom. Geroini knigi - ovt͡sa s gipsom, ovt͡sa s kosym proborom, ovt͡sa s zubnoĭ plastinkoĭ i ikh podrugi - obsuzhdai͡ut, stoit li daritʹ novorozhdennomu sertifikat v magazin i kak luchshe soobshchitʹ pastukham, chto veshchi iz ovechʹeĭ shersti uzhe ne v mode. V ėtoĭ korotkoĭ, no bezumno smeshnoĭ knige vskolʹzʹ zatronuty temy plastikovogo zagri͡aznenii͡a planety i gendernogo ravnopravii͡a, no osnovnoe vnimanie udeli͡aetsi͡a teologicheskim voprosam: poiskam, very v chudesa i li͡ubvi k blizhnemu.

Seven hilariously clumsy and diverse sheep are left without shepherds for the first time in their lives and learn that a baby has been born in a nearby village, which supposedly will save everyone. The sheep decide not to wait for the shepherds to return, and set off on their own to look for the stable where the wonderful baby was born. But they don't know how to act independently, either together or separately, and they don't really know who to visit or why. They also can't count each other properly so that no one gets lost on the way.In his new book, Ulrich Hub, an acclaimed German children's writer and author of the bestseller "The Ark Departs at Eight Sharp," revisits the biblical story, interpreting it with exceptional humor. The heroines of the book – a sheep with a cast, a sheep with a side parting, a sheep with a dental plate and their friends – discuss whether it is worth giving a newborn a certificate to the store and how best to inform the shepherds that things made of sheep's wool are no longer in fashion. In this short but insanely funny book, the topics of plastic pollution of the planet and gender equality are casually touched upon, but the main focus is on theological issues: search, faith in miracles and love for one's neighbor.
