The Donkey's Christmas Song

(4) PS All the animals in the stable greet the new baby Jesus with their gentle sounds, but the donkey is afraid his loud bray will be unwelcome. In fact, the donkey's "hee aw!" makes the new baby laugh with joy. The sweet story is not original, but its simplicity and repetition are well suited for toddlers. Though somewhat awkward, Tafuri's illustrations are as large and clear as ever.
