In this charming children's tale, The Christmas Time Travelers II: The Professor's Journey, four
dogs, a time machine and a curious and well-meaning professor will visit ancient Bethlehem
on a very special night.
Professor Malcolm McDougal lives in the pleasant, almost old-fashioned town of Coventry,
in New England. Two years ago on Christmas Eve, his three furry canines - Lily, Benji and
Karat - were transported by his special invention - a time machine - and took a remarkable
trip to Bethlehem. Lily returned with a small scrap of the blue blanket wrapped around the
baby Jesus accidentally caught on her collar. Now Christmas is coming around, and a fourth
pet has joined the group - Jem, a sweet but very restless puppy. The Professor begins to
imagine that he could also make that journey, to see with his own eyes what his pets saw
two years before. He rushes to the costume shop just in time to garb himself in authentic
looking shepherd's robe, belt and head covering.
After he activates his invention and disappears to the past, the dogs, curious, hop into the
machine. Jem's excitement causes a paw to hit the start button. Thus they will all wind up
in Bethlehem, very identi able because of the bright star shining overhead, and all will
witness the holy child and his mother being visited and adored by a group of reverential
shepherds. The wise Professor will take two signi cant actions before returning to the
present, demonstrating valuable lessons about the best way to remember his life-changing
experience.
