Customer Reviews

A great Christmas book

It's a fantastic book. It is about the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem -- from the donkey's point of view. The events that happened during the first Christmas are told in a different light. It's a funny, inspiring, and feel-good book. If you want to get into the Christmas spirit, this book is the one for you.

The Donkey's Gift

It's the story of Joseph and Mary's journey to Bethlehem and their struggles as told by the donkey who has been purchased to carry Mary. Its a warm and inviting book. Great read especially around the Christmas season. It's a family tradition at our house.

Excellent Book

I Love this book. It is my all time favorite. I first read it in Reader's Digest Consensed books several years ago, then had to buy the actual book. I loan that copy to my friends and family. I read it every December, and once I start, I can't put it down. It tells the story of Jesus' birth from a whole different point of view. It is a wonderful story for people of all ages. I highly recomend it!

This a truly fantastic story.

My mother first read me this book many years ago just before Christmas. And to this day I read it every December and enjoy it more each time. It is a new way to look at the story of Christ's birth.

Joseph and Mary as real people

I read this book in Reader's Digest condensed books also. I read it out loud to my children during December when they were little. It made the journey of Joseph and Mary a key part of the birth of Jesus. Loved it.
