Reading guide
This is the first book in the Wonky Donkey series. Each book stands alone but shares the same playful, humorous spirit.
The Wonky Donkey kicks off the series with a rollicking cumulative rhyme that introduces readers to a donkey with an ever-growing list of comical traits.

Description

The Wonky Donkey picture book by Craig Smith is a riotous, read-aloud sensation that has sold over two million copies worldwide. Based on Smith's catchy song, this cumulative rhyme introduces readers to a spunky, hanky-panky, cranky, stinky-dinky, lanky, honky-tonky, winky wonky donkey. With each page, the silly description grows longer and more outrageous, inviting children to chant along and erupt into giggles. The bright, glossy illustrations bring the donkey's goofy charm to life, making it an irresistible choice for storytime and bedtime alike.

Praised by Tom Fletcher on BookTrust and loved by the viral Scottish Granny, The Wonky Donkey blends music, humor, and farm animal fun into one perfect package. Its lyrical text works as both a read-aloud story and a sing-along songbook, encouraging participation and building phonological awareness in early readers. Ideal for children aged 3 to 7, this book has become a beloved fixture in homes, classrooms, and libraries, sparking joy with every "hee-haw!"
