The Donkey's Christmas Song
by Nancy Tafuri

Under a bright star, a long, long time ago, a baby is born in a stable, surrounded by friendly barnyard animals. The shy little donkey wants to be the first to welcome the baby with his song, but he is afraid his bray is too loud. So the doves welcome him with their coo, coo, the cow with her moo, moo. The goats, sheep, chicks, and mice share their songs, too. Then the baby welcomes the shy donkey with his own sweet smile. The donkey brays — hee-aw! — and the baby laughs with joy!
