The Wonky Donkey Book & CD
order quantity
NZ$ 25.00 each
Paperback
Author:
Words & music by Craig Smith Illustrated by Katz Cowley
Published by:
Scholastic New Zealand
This book is a Finalist in the Picture Book Category, New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards 2010.
This is a paperback book and CD set of the award-winning song
The Wonky Donkey
with hilarious illustrations that will have you laughing out loud!
In the very funny, cumulative song, each page tells us something new about the donkey until we end up with a "spunky, hanky-panky cranky stinky dinky lanky honky-tonky winky wonky donkey".
There is much fun to be had by listening to the song and trying to predict the new word for each clue given.
Craig Smith's song,
The Wonky Donkey
, won an APRA Silver Scroll Award in 2008 for Best Children's Song of the Year.
