I love a book that makes me laugh and The Wonky Donkey does not disappoint! Like so many others, I discovered this book from a viral video of a Scottish grandmother reading to her grandson. She couldn’t stop laughing... I knew I had to have this book!
Bonus... expressive illustrations, repetitive sentences, and a tongue-twister, this book is educational and great for beginning readers. A must-have for any home library.
From Hayley's list on to inspire a love of reading.
This book is a word-play carnival. (The donkey) “was quite tall and slim and he smelled really bad. He was a stink-dinky, lanky, honkey-tonky, winky wonky donkey.” If you can say that without laughing, you need more coffee. Your kids will love it as much as you do. Check out the sequels, too.
From Melinda's list on making you and your kids laugh out loud.
It’s absurd. I first discovered this book because of a viral video that was making the rounds as viral videos tend to do. It was of a Scottish granny reading the book aloud to her very young grandchild. The granny’s laugh was infectious, as was the story. It’s a simple idea, a simple story and through repetition can help a child learn new words, how to read, and realise that adults can be just mad. Having fun with words is what it’s all about.
