Synopsis
A delightful alternative to the traditional nativity story. Prince, a donkey, is very proud of his family's history. It was his ancestor, Christophore, who carried Mary to Bethlehem. Prince recounts the long and dangerous trip. Although based on a myth of the origin of the cross on a donkey's back, Stoute has included many interesting equine facts. Silva-Freimane's illustrations are detailed and authentically depict landscapes of the Caribbean and the Holy Land. Read Together: Ages 4 - 6; Read Alone: Ages 6 - 9.
