Booky Advent Calendar Day 8: "Father Christmas and the Donkey" by Elizabeth Clark and Ari Jokinen (Pikku Publishing)
Elizabeth Clark's timeless "Father Christmas and the Donkey" with illustrations by Ari Jokinen is the melancholy tale of a folorn donkey who seems destined to spend another Christmas all alone.
But there's Christmas magic in the air, and this year the sad donkey is befriended by Father Christmas on a cold crisp Christmas Eve and is given the unexpected Christmas Eve gift of a new home.
It's heart-meltingly gorgeous this one, and the new illustrations are destined to make this edition of the book a huge hit with a whole new generation of little ones.
"Father Christmas and the Donkey" by Elizabeth Clark and Ari Jokinen is out now, published by Pikku Publishing (kindly supplied for review).
