Mary's Little Donkey and the Escape to Egypt

By Gunhild Sehlin

Book Overview

A long time ago in the Holy Land lived a dirty little donkey who hated hard work. And then he met gentle, kind Mary, and his world changed forever.

When Mary and Joseph are told they have to go to Bethlehem, who will carry Mary on the long journey? And when Herod's soldiers come looking for them, who will help them escape across the desert to Egypt?

This is an exciting and beautifully told version of the Christmas story and the early years of little Jesus's life, from a unique, child-friendly perspective. It is ideal for family reading through the Advent season.

Customer Reviews

One of a kind

This book is heart warming. It tells the story of Mary and Jesus through the eyes of a donkey. I read it each year to my first grade right after Christmas. It is truly one of their favorite books each year and each time I read it, I feel a magic glow just as is described in the book.
