Book Description:
The
lovable and adventurous donkey introduced in the best-selling Clopper
the Christmas Donkey returns to continue the marvelous story
surrounding Jesus' birth.
My review:
Clopper
is an adorable storyteller. He includes scriptures on many pages as he
describes his experiences during his time with Jesus. The pictures also
show accurately that Jesus wasn't a newborn when the wise men came to
visit the Lord. The story follows a progression of events including the
time Mary and Joseph stayed in Egypt with Jesus until they were told it
was safe to return. But because of the reputation of Herod's evil son,
they took no chances and decided to continue on to Nazareth. A map
shows the route their journey took. I enjoyed the detailed
illustrations and the story given from the donkey's point of view. This
book could be read any time of the year even though it's geared toward
Christmas time.
Clopper and the Night Travelers by Emily King and illustrated by Ed Olson was published by Kregel and released in July 2007.
