Donkey-donkey, Hardcover by Duvoisin, Roger, ISBN 1590179641, ISBN-13 9781590179642, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Comparing himself to all the other animals on the farm, Donkey-donkey gets more and more depressed over the way he looks, but when a young girl compliments his long ears and points out just how special they are, Donkey-donkey finally regains his self-esteem--proudly holding them up high for the whole world to see!

About this product

Product Information

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.

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.

The story teaches a child that they are perfect just the way they are
Beautiful story and the books were new! So surprised since it was originally published over 40 years ago. I’ve bought so many used ones for gifts over the years because the book is so special
