The Donkey’s Christmas Song is a great Christmas book for young kids. Though the text is brief, it tells about how Jesus was born in a stable and all the animals wanted to welcome him. Each animal gently welcomes him into the world, until it is the donkey’s turn. His raucous hee-haw makes the baby laugh. (You just have to suspend your disbelief in a newborn baby’s ability to laugh.) The illustrations are simple, but captivating. I think this book is a great way to get young children interested in the story of Jesus’ birth, which you can then discuss and expand on.
