The tale revolves around Golden Dicky, a spirited canary whose adventures highlight both the joys and tribulations faced by birds and their owners. Saunders employs a lyrical and engaging prose style, rich in personification, which invites readers to see the world through Dicky's eyes, offering not just entertainment but also an insightful reflection on companionship and empathy. The text is situated within the broader context of late 19th-century literature that often centered on the emotional lives of animals, echoing the sentiments of contemporary works advocating for animal welfare. Marshall Saunders, a Canadian author and social reformer, had a keen interest in animal rights and the plight of the marginalized, which deeply influenced her writing. Living during a period marked by increasing awareness of animal welfare issues, Saunders used her storytelling as a platform to promote compassion and understanding. Her rich experiences with pets, particularly birds, fueled her passion for portraying their inner lives, making her narratives more authentic and relatable. Readers will find "Golden Dicky" an enchanting and heartwarming exploration of affection that resonated with audiences of its time and remains relevant today. This delightful tale is highly recommended for animal lovers, young readers, and anyone seeking a poignant reminder of the bonds that unite us across species. Its whimsical yet earnest storytelling offers not just a journey into the life of a canary but also an invitation to reflect on our stewardship of all living beings.

The Donkey Who Carried a King

R. C. Sproul

The biblical teaching that Jesus was the Suffering Servant who carried the sins of His people when He went to the cross is vividly brought home to children in The Donkey Who Carried a King, the latest children’s book from respected theologian, author, and educator Dr. R.C. Sproul.Davey was a young donkey who was bored and unhappy because he was never given anything to do. Then one day, some strangers came to the gate―and Davey’s master picked him for a very special task. Davey carried the King, Jesus, into Jerusalem. A few days later, Davey saw some angry people making the King carry a heavy beam of wood. Davey could not understand it―until another donkey helped him see that the King was being a Servant on behalf of His people.The Donkey Who Carried a King offers a unique perspective on the events of Jesus’ Passion Week and calls all believers, both young and old, to follow in the footsteps of the Suffering Servant for the glory of God. Jesus was willing to leave the glories of heaven to suffer and die in this world on our behalf, so we should serve Him with all our hearts.
