1 y separately published work icon Star! Stable! Saviour! : The Christmas Story in S Cameron M. Semmens , Rod Allen (illustrator), Capalaba : Wombat Books , 2015 9018889 2015 single work picture book children's

'Witty and wordy, strange and absurd-y, truthful and fun for all the family: this is the Christmas story superbly retold by Cameron Semmens using virtually nothing but words starting with ‘S’.

'Cameron’s way with words is amazing, but not as amazing as the story itself - God coming to the earth as a baby, born in a smelly little stable. Now that’s unexpected!

'This book is a one-of-a-kind; for one-and-all; and one version of the Yuletide saga that you won’t forget in a very long time!'

'WHAT IF… Frank Sinatra was a heart surgeon?

WHAT IF… The Queen Mother was your conscience?

WHAT IF… Hitler wanted to catch up for a coffee… at a Children’s farm?

WHAT IF… Shakespeare shopped at Woolworths?

WHAT IF… Muhammad Ali was the moon?

WHAT IF… Jesus just really wanted to fish for fish?

Cameron Semmens asked himself these questions (and many more) and this book is the weird, playful, thoughtful, joyful result. Welcome into the surprising celebrity cameos and the refreshingly charming scenarios of Jesus, Gandhi and Hitler walk into a Poem! ' (Publication summary)
