The Wonky Donkey

One of the best and funniest books to read to babies and to young children. The reader (like me) has to stop awhile to catch my breath so hard to breathe from laughing. Get a grandmother or grandfather and have someone take a video of the read and the giggles and belly laughs will entertain everyone over and over

Great book, cute story and illustrations. Couldn’t stop laughing.

Loved it - what a funny book that my baby loves! As the pages go on more and more words rhyme and it makes story time so fun. Was pleasantly surprised to enjoy this book so much!

Such a funny story to read to children!

It is so cute and fun to read!

Great book for young kids

I watched that Youtube vid that's all the rage right now, the one showing a Scottish grandmother reading this tale of a wonky donkey. Had me in stitches, so I purchased the book. Actually, I purchased 4, because I want each of my kids to have one for when they have kids and also two to give away as gifts. However, even though the story is quite fun to read and will probably get a lot of laughs, I am realizing that calling someone with one less leg than normal as wonkey might be construed as insensitive. Then, again, I think we've become a society of entitled people, where anyone can take offense to anything and if they squawk loud enough, heads can roll. I'm not one of those, but if you're uber-sensitive about labels, even in a fun, play-on-words storybook such as The Wonky Donkey, you might not find it funny. Also, it was rather disturbing to see the bird in the story carry the donkey's 'lost eye' back to its nest. That was rather macabre...and kind of funny, too. Haven't decided which way I want to feel about it. There's also one fart joke. Wonky Donkey apparently has a flatulence issue, which explains why he's 'smelly'. The story is hilarious and fun to read, despite the aforementioned shortcomings. In truth, the three-legged, one-eyed donkey might become a favorite with children who are likewise encumbered, as well as with older adults who might have a - - - um- - - different kind of handicap. :-D It might even create a good foundation for some enlightened discussions about people with handicaps and how not to draw attention to someone with a socially awkward problem.

I gifted this book to a friend who has a one year old. She said that the baby laughs along with mom and dad.

Love it and so did my class of 6 year olds!

Funny book (in inglese)

Such a fun and charming story — my daughter can’t get enough of it! The rhyming and silly humour make her giggle every single time we read it. It’s become a bedtime favourite in our house, and she even tries to say some of the lines herself now. The illustrations are bright and funny, and it’s one of those books parents actually enjoy reading too. Perfect for little ones who love animals and rhyming stories. Highly recommend — pure joy from start to finish!

Excellent book

A lovely, charming book that has me laughing. I bought this as a gift for my nephew and he just loved it.
