The Donkey that Carried a King, Paperback/Janice Wentworth

The "Donkey that Carried a King" is a heart-warming story about a 7-year-old boy, David, and his pet donkey, Tobias. The tale takes place in Biblical times as his father, Samuel, takes a supply of olives from his farm in Palestine to be sold in a nearby town. Samuel and David begin their journey back to their home only to be caught up in the stream of people going to Jerusalem to crown a new King of the Jews. The story relates the Biblical account of Jesus coming into Jerusalem the Palm Sunday from a seven-year-old's point of view and that of his friend and pet, Tobias the donkey.
