Reviews
"Harmless mulishness, affectionately drawn."-- Kirkus Reviews   "[A] delightful book: the pictures...make the point vividly clear even to a very small child."-- New Statesman   "The message of this story is that it's best to be oneself, and Caldecott Medal-winning Duvoisin delivers it with compassion and humor, without being sentimental. He knows how to pace a story, give rhythm to the language, and create inviting, bold illustrations."--Isabel Baker and Miriam Baker Schiffer, Young Children, "The message of this story is that it's best to be oneself, and Caldecott Medal-winning Duvoisin delivers it with compassion and humor, without being sentimental.

It's funny... a delight." --Julie Danielson, Kirkus "The message of this story is that it's best to be oneself, and Caldecott Medal-winning Duvoisin delivers it with compassion and humor, without being sentimental.

Synopsis
The illustrated children's classic about friendship and self-acceptance, from a Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator and the author of Petunia -- perfect for reading aloud with kids ages 2-5 When a self-conscious donkey meets a new friend who likes him just the way he is, he realizes that accepting himself--long ears and all!--is the most important lesson. Donkey-donkey has a problem. Despite his many friends and his good master, he is sad because his ears are so long and ridiculous. If only Donkey-donkey could have short sensible ears like his friend, Pat the horse, he would be content. So, he seeks the advice of his fellow farm animals who suggest he wear his ears differently, more like theirs: floppy like the dog's, to the side like the sheep's, to the front like the pig's. But each unnatural arrangement leads to increasing insult and injury. Finally, a little girl passing by remarks on the beauty of the pretty little donkey's ears! At last Donkey-donkey is happy. A classic tale of vanity and folly, and learning to accept oneself--protrudent ears, redundant name, and all., The illustrated children's classic about friendship and self-acceptance, from a Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator and the author of Petunia -perfect for reading aloud with kids ages 2-5 When a self-conscious donkey meets a new friend who likes him just the way he is, he realizes that accepting himself-long ears and all!-is the most important lesson.
