5.0 out of 5 stars Great Children’s Stories Also Introduces Animal Characters in Seventh Dimension…

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2016

Not only is this a great book for children, but it also introduces the animals from the Seventh Dimension Series and tells us about meeting the King! It’s a great prelude to The Door, which is coming next. It reminded me of long ago when you went to a movie and got to see a cartoon prior to the main feature! LOL, except this one is directly related to the upcoming story.

Baruch became a Child of the King!
And so did the other animals in the book! I loved it!

Baruch was unhappy living where he was and working as he did. He was missing something and sure would like not to have to carry somebody else’s burdens all the time, so he decided to leave. But Baruch was well-liked, and his friends tried to get him to stay home. But all Baruch could think about was how free he would be and that he wouldn’t have chores every day.
 

From the Author


If you have read Seventh Dimension—The Door, a Young Adult Christian Fantasy, you will remember that Shale Snyder’s favorite childhood book was The Donkey and the King. The donkey in The Door is Baruch, the star in this delightful children’s story. Enjoy this prequel for young kids, ages 2-7, and help them discover “good” hidden throughout the book’s pages.

The Kindle version is new and updated. The artwork has been rescanned from the original drawings, and the text can be resized for young readers. Click on the artwork on each page, and enlarge the drawing to look for the hidden word “good.” The Donkey and the King will entertain young ones and help them become lifelong lovers of books and reading, all while teaching them about Jesus and redemption.
