NCLA Review - CLOPPER AND THE NIGHT TRAVELERS. King, Emily. Kregel 2007, 978-0-8254-3066-4, $12.99 [E]
In this beautifully illustrated children’s Christmas story, Clopper is a donkey who accompanies Mary and Joseph. Clopper carries Mary, Jesus' mother, to Bethlehem where the adventure begins. Clopper witnesses a surprise arrival of shepherds to see the newborn king, and is there on the strange evening when Wiseman come to worship and bring gifts to the baby. Later, Joseph prepares Clopper for a long trip. Their journey is hard, taking them to the strange land of Egypt. Finally the day comes when God tells them it is safe and to go home, but not to Bethlehem. So they go to Nazareth. This is a beautifully illustrated book would make a nice addition to any Christmas collection. I especially like the fact it tells the whole Christmas story through the return from Egypt. Ages 4-8.
