Clopper the Christmas Donkey

Rating:
Summary: A cheerful, warmly illustrated picture book
Review: The collaborative effort of children's author Emily King and illustrator Ed Olson, Clopper The Christmas Donkey tells the story of the greatest adventure of a hardworking donkey's life - escorting Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem and the dusty stable in which Jesus Christ would be born, and the subsequent news from angels that brought three shepherds to pay their respects. Clopper The Christmas Donkey is a cheerful, warmly illustrated picture book rendition of the story of Christmas and a welcome addition to Christmas season reading lists and collections.
