CHILDREN were introduced to a four-legged friend when they attended a book signing.

The cute donkey from Leeds Donkey Sanctuary visited the Children’s Bookshop in Lindley.

It joined author Susanne Schroder, who was signing copies of her book The Donkey’s First Christmas.

The book tells the story of the nativity.

It stars a bad-tempered donkey who is eventually charmed by Mary and takes her to Bethlehem.
