My Thoughts On The Book:   I do not review children's books often and for the most part I enjoyed this little book. It had great eye appeal.  I actually read it to a Sunday School class of 5 year olds and they were most impressed.  I loved that each event was followed by scripture.  The events were close to accurate, Jesus's getting his own donkey was not correct.  I researched several versions of the Bible and in all versions the disciples got the donkey as Jesus asked.  It was still a very simple telling of the life of Jesus that a small child could comprehend and I loved that.  The illustrations were precious.  The only thing I found fault in was that all the characters were white.  People from that region of the country were darker skinned.  Yet, even with that I could see where children would never notice this.  This book would be a great gift for a little one in your life.
