Mary's Little Donkey

'This new edition has beautiful new illustrations that are full of details that bring the story to life. [...] This is a nice addition to religious holiday books.'
--Youth Services Book Review

'When Joseph buys a scruffy, lazy, little donkey for Mary he does not realise how useful and helpful it will become. Told from the perspective of the donkey, this story gently carries the reader along to the stable in Bethlehem. Although a picture book, the text is full and detailed, which, together with the wonderfully precise clean illustrations, bring interest and appeal to this beautifully refreshing version of the traditional story of the first Christmas.'

-- School Library Journal

'Soft-focus illustrations in muted colors provide interesting details of the journey, with particularly appealing animal characters.[…] A readable, pleasant story for patient listeners.'
--Kirkus
