    Christians are all familiar with the verses in Luke 19:28-38 about Jesus' ride into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday - where He was greeted with Hosannas and praise.

    THE DONKEY THAT NO ONE COULD RIDE is loosely based on these scriptures, telling the story of why the author thinks possibly the donkey couldn't be ridden, how the donkey felt about it, and the miracle that God wrought in the donkey's life.

    Written in poetic style, this book is great for a parent or other adult to read to young children or even for readers to read for themselves. The colorful images kept my daughters' attention, while the story had them riveted. Even my teen son cheered when he heard part of the story, and made sympathetic sounds during the sadder parts.

    THE DONKEY THAT NO ONE COULD RIDE is a charming addition to any child's library. A wonderful tale that will emphasis stories they hear in Sunday School or church, and will bring the story of Palm Sunday and THE DONKEY THAT NO ONE COULD RIDE to life. Recommended. Perfect for children ages 2 — 6.

    Purchased this book for my 5yr old granddaughter about 3 weeks ago. It is a wonderful story. I would highly recommend this to any parent to have for their children. Considering purchasing a couple more to give as gifts.

    This delightful piece of children's literature introduces the young reader or listener to the donkey that Jesus rode during his triumphal entry into Jerusalem prior to his crucifixion.

    This humble little donkey is portrayed as "young, weak and small", unable to be ridden by anyone. But then he meets the Man, so kind and wise, who reminds the small beast of burden, "My help is enough." Indeed the Master's help was enough for the frail little donkey who is no longer frail and weak, but carries the King through the gates of the city to shouts and cheers of hosannas and praise.

    This book is beautifully illustrated and a delightful retell of the Lord's triumphal entry that will be enjoyed by any reader, whether young or young at heart. It is also a wonderful reminder that Jesus can use and make profitable any of his creatures no matter how frail or useless; even we who are frail humans and in much need of the Master's help.

    We bought this book for our 9 year old grandson, and will be giving it to him as a birthday present in a couple of weeks. He likes books, and this story is well done. We are waiting to see his reaction

    You will see a young donkey tied there that no one has ever ridden.

    This beautiful children's story book in lovely rhyme is a loosely told version of the Biblical account of the donkey that was chosen to be the one on which our Savior, Jesus Christ, would ride into Jerusalem the Sunday prior to his death. (Found in Luke 19:28-38)

    Anthony DeStefano, author, and Richard Cowdrey, illustrator, have worked together to bring a lovely version of this lowly beast who feels no worth but who is chosen to be the one to carry or Lord.

    He was tied to a post on a small dusty road

    And left all alone while his tears overflowed,

    Left all alone and wondering why

    He was born to be weak, and born to be shy,

    And born to be frightened,

    And born to cry.

    Although this little book is focused on the account of the donkey being chosen to carry our Lord, there is also an underlying theme. It is that our Lord sees worth in each and every one of us and can use us for His purposes.

    "My help is enough;

    It's all that you need,

    It's all you require in the life to succeed."

    Children will delight to have this read to them repeatedly and will also be enchanted by the good use of rhyme to tell the story. Cadence and rhyme are beautifully done by Anthony DeStefano.
