The Donkey's Story door Barbara Cohen (raizel)
raizel: While Ms. Paterson has bystanders viewing what's going on with Balaam and his donkey, Ms. Cohen does not. So the reasons for Balaams actions are different.

I dunno. Maybe if I were Christian I'd appreciate this more. It just didn't have the power some parables and stories do, though. (

The angel has a halo. I'm sure there is a Christian slant to this, but the retelling is reasonable. Ms. Paterson adds her own spin by saying that Balaam's donkey acts strangely in front of other people and that Balaam's reaction is therefore due his embarrassment about not being able to control his animal. The pictures are vibrant.
