This review is from: Donkey to the Rescue: The Good Samaritan's Donkey (Bible Animal Board Books) (Board book)

This charming little board book retells Christ's parable of the Good Samaritan from Luke 15:11-31 from the perspective of the Samaritan's donkey, who was also along for the ride! The book places an emphasis on the emotions of the donkey, which mirror the types of feelings young children go through on a daily basis: grumpy, hot, tired and perhaps not in the mood to help out! Donkey and his rider take time out of their day to help a man in need, reinforcing the concept that we should take time to be of service to anyone we encounter along our path that might need a helping hand.

The book contains a reference to the passage in Luke where this story is told, to encourage parent and child to explore the Bible together.
