Review by School Library Journal Review
K-Gr 4-Gorgeous jewel-toned panoramic artwork accented with gold depicts the events of the Passion, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The story is told from the point of view of Jesus's donkey, allowing for a childlike simplicity in the text. A visually stunning introduction to a major Christian holiday. (c) Copyright 2011.

Review by Horn Book Review
Retelling the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, Wildsmith stresses the role of the donkey that carried Jesus during Holy Week. Bright colors accented with gold give the illustrations a regal quality. Regrettably, in this miniature version, the text is too tiny and details in the illustrations are lost.
