One Small Donkey for Little Ones By Dandi Mackall

With Christmas right around the corner, your family will love this heartwarming Christmas story told from an unlikely perspective: a donkey carrying Mary to Bethlehem. Though the donkey wasn’t the biggest, fastest, or strongest of all the animals, he had an important job all the same. Adults and children alike will love the message about how God has big plans for little ones.
Little ones can do big things for God!

Available on Amazon and other retailers

My Thoughts:
This is a cute hard back book for little ones. It tells the story of Joseph and Mary going to Bethlehem and the baby Jesus being born from a donkey's point of view. It is written in rhyming prose, all beginning with One Small Donkey. Some of the rhyming may not be the best, but I don't really think a child is going to care and it gets the point across. It's a board book so all the pages are thick and hard and best for those tiny ones to turn the pages without tearing.

The illustrations are beautifully done and the characters come to life with the bright colors. It begins with daytime journey and ends with the night in the stable.  My children are not toddlers any more, but I am pretty sure even my nine year old is going to enjoy this book. I am saving some adorable books like these to pass along to any young grandchildren in the future.

I received this book from BookLook blogger program in exchange for my honest opinion.

My Body's Mine by Kayla Marnach

My Body's Mine helps children learn they have the rights to their body. Told through rhyme from a child's point of view this book on boundaries empowers each child to say no when others approach them in ways that make them uncomfortable. It also gives clear instructions on what to do if they are approached in an unwanted manner. The questions at the end of the book provides an easy transition for counselors and parents to open a discussion to prevent abuse or to further explore if abuse has occurred.
