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.'

'Widely translated since its original 1962 publication, this Swedish spin-off Bible story has now been abridged and beautifully illustrated in a realistic style, rich with detail... Uplifting, child-friendly holiday fare with a religious bent.'
-- 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
'Adapted for younger children from Gunhild Sehlin's classic chapter book, and sumptuously illustrated by Helene Muller, with marvelous details of the Holy Land, 'Mary's Little Donkey' is especially recommended for children ages 4 to 7 and is certain to become an enduringly popular addition to family, preschool, elementary school, and community library Christmas picture book collections.'
--Midwest Book Review
'Mullers richly detailed illustrations emphasize Marys humility and serenity'.
--Publisher's Weekly
' This is a story of the Nativity for younger Children. It is translated from the Swedish and then it has been abridged. The illustrations are sympathetic to the tale and evoke the feel of the occasion. A lovely version to read to young children.'
--Margaret's Reading Shelf
