This is a brief tale about a young boy in the 60s, Doug Barnes, who gets recruited to play a shepherd in his church’s annual Christmas Eve pageant. The Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog is one of the shortest books I’ve read all year, although it comes with perhaps the longest title. When it was announced he had a Christmas book coming out this year, I knew I’d have to review it for my Think About It Central Christmas Party. He’s truly one of the funniest writers in America. His newspaper columns, his books on subjects as varied as Japan and being a guy, and in recent years, his fiction, have never failed to elicit a smile from me.
