Review:
How have we got this many reviews without reviewing The Wonky Donkey?! This is a firm favourite in our house, and is not allowed to be read - it has to be sung!  Fortunately, the book comes with a CD, so parents can learn the tune - but don't try to sing along with the composer, Craig Smith - he has a fantastic speed that he can say the words with! This story was originally the song, and later became the book.

Every Kiwi child should have a copy of this book - it's going to become one of those Kiwi icons in a few years, along with jandals, pavlova and Buzzy Bee!




My rating: 5 out of 5 - one to own, not just borrow from the library!
