Riding on a Donkey (Ages 3-7)

I bought this last year for my three boys (current ages 5, 3, & 1) and they love it. I love the colorful images and the simple yet great retelling of Holy Week through Pentecost. My 5 year old is very familiar with Jesus’ death & resurrection yet still finds this book engaging enough for discussions and my 3 year old is just starting to understand the story as he’s been learning more about Jesus’ life.

The only thing I find odd about the book is the title - “Riding on a Donkey” doesn’t quite fit, in my opinion, for the entirety of the story when it’s just a brief part at the beginning with Palm Sunday.

I love this book. It brings the Passion of Our Lord to our granddaughter in language and images she can understand. Easy to read and beautifully illustrated!

Beautifully written story perfect for all ages really. Stunning pictures.

I remember as a kid we had great books to learn from. My mom gave them all away and this is the closest I've found that is good. The pictures are very colorful and it is well written. My grandson is only 14 months and it is a little much for him to sit still for the whole book but it keeps his attention with the illustrations and our reading for short periods. As he gets a bit older, this will be a good one to have. It is accurate and age-appropriate.

Bought this for my grandchildren, can't wait to read this to them.

I had high hopes for this book based on the other reviews, but was disappointed in graphic language used in parts of the book. While it was biblically correct using "Put him on a cross to die!" in the story was not necessary in my opinion to tell the story especially since the book is supposed to be for the 3-7 year old age group. It was hard to explain crucify and die to my grandchildren and their mother was not happy with me. They were more focused on the negative parts of the story than the joyful parts.

My kids loved reading this book

I bought this for my grandchildren . I love reading it to them & all the illustrations keep them engaged. I have already recommended this book to friends.

Beautiful book, both in illustrations and content. Perfect for my grandchildren. (I liked it too!) Very Pleased!

This book is wonderful. Illustrations are beautiful and the story has so much biblical detail. I have been looking for an Easter book that highlights the Eucharist at the last super and I finally found one. I love that it is hard cover instead of a board book. My two and three year old children are going to love it. Very happy with this purchase.
