Donkey's Dreadful Day

Irina Hale
(Macmillan Education Australia)
978-0333371435, RRP £2.95, Paperback
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Buy "Donkey's Dreadful Day (Picturemacs)" on Amazon

A crazy, mixed-up tale with a circus setting wherein Donkey manages to make a complete mess of each of the performers' favourite meals when he is appointed cook for the day. A book which should appeal to infants' sense of the ridiculous and, with its lively, colourful illustrations and clearly laid out, approachable text, is one that many could be encouraged to tackle themselves.
