A "3-in-1" Kid's Musical
by Kathie Hill & Melody Morris
2005 Dove Award Nominee
Best Children's/Youth Musical
In this follow-up to their best-seller Fish Tales, Kathie Hill and Melody Morris share the stories of Balaam’s donkey, the Good Samaritan, and Jesus riding into Jerusalem. Through these Donkey Tales, children will learn about the obedience God requires, the love we can show our neighbors and the humility that led Jesus to the cross.
Kids will love the “Tex’s Dude Ranch” setting where they help owner Tex Arkana tell her Donkey Tales to the accompaniment of the Ranch Hand Band. The country, western swing, bluegrass and rockabilly styles will enhance the setting and energize your choir while the “storybook” format allows for multiple narrators and simple drama. Best of all, Donkey Tales can be presented in full or as minimusicals of four to five songs each. So quit horsing around . . . order Donkey Tales today!

Kathie's Note:The tracks on this project are great and feature players from Ricky Skaggs’ Kentucky Thunder. “Donkey Tales” is simple to stage, but with songs you’ll sing long after the program ends and “A Donkey Brings a Humble King” makes a really nice Easter mini-musical. My favoriate songs are “Sittin’ on the Fence” “Close Enough to Touch” and “You are My King .”
