The story of a nodding Donkey is a Christmas Story for all ages. You can read it to your younger children, or give it to your older children so they can read it. It's a lovely way to get into the Christmas mood. Over the years millions of children have read this story about a lovely nodding Donkey and his owner Joe. Santa Claus and his merry helpers are quite pleased with the Nodding Donkey. They worked so long on creating the Donkey that they feel this toy is to go to a very special child. But before the Donkey gets to the right place there are many adventures and he meets lots of other toys. There is the toy policeman who has to make sure the toys don't talk or move when there are people around, the toys from Noah's ark and the Calico Clown who once burned his trousers. The nodding Donkey is given to Joe and they both really like each other. What happens when Joe has to go to hospital? There is only one way to find out: read this story! Just like the story of the Stuffed Elephant, this book is part of the Make-believe stories written by Laura Lee Hope.
