"The Christmas Donkey" by Donna Thornton
The Book Shelf's Children's Christmas Book Recommendation

A heartwarming Christmas tale, this story is about a young donkey called Druplet who lives on a raspberry farm. His wish is to one day be as special as the prize horses in a nearby pasture. As Christmas rolls around, Druplet goes on an adventure that has him standing next to a baby in a manger. On returning to the farm Druplet shares his adventure with the wise barn cat who tells Druplet the story of Christmas.

Come pick up your signed copy today for your children's new favorite Christmas book!
