Wonky Donkey & CD

Wonky Donkey by Craig Smith is a hilariously cheeky cumulative song that has become a storytime favourite for young children. It begins with a simple line-œI was walking down the road, and I saw a donkey¦-and hilariously builds into a tongue-twisting list of the donkey's many quirks: he's spunky, hanky-panky, cranky, stinky, dinky, lanky, honky-tonky, winky¦ and wonky! Children delight in the rhyming repetition, silly descriptors and catchy rhythm of the story. Perfect for shared reading or singing along, this book encourages language play, prediction and loads of laughter. Whether read aloud or sung with the included tune, it's guaranteed to become a classroom or family favourite.
