Dave the Donkey

With colourful, animated illustrations, and a lot of humour, ‘Dave the Donkey’ is a retelling of the Easter story told from the perspective of the donkey, and it focuses on the disparity between Jesus being ‘King’ and how he was treated.

Dave is the donkey who carries Jesus into Jerusalem – but then he goes home, so asks his Grandpa (who stayed in Jerusalem) what happened. The realisation gradually dawns on Dave that the crowd who were cheering King Jesus on Palm Sunday did not continue to elevate him to that status. Grandpa shares that the sad news that the King was crucified – but the exciting news that he rose to life three days later!

‘Dave the Donkey’ will really engage your little ones, and was a read-aloud favourite in our young family.
