This is a book I never would've picked up on my own, so thank you, Linda P., for sticking this on my desk. No real plot to this one, just super-silly wordplay. Great for a readaloud. Scholastic says it has a downloadable song, but I couldn't find it.

Nevertheless, the goofy stretched-out descriptive list ("he was a cranky stinky-dinky lanky honky-tonky winky wonky donkey") will get giggles. The lack of commas makes me a little nutso, but I could see using this as a springboard for a silly phonics lesson.

He was a spunky hanky-panky cranky stinky-dinky lanky honky-tonky winky wonky donkey!

This book is a horrifying shit show.

The illustrations were nauseating and the text was worse. A donkey with three legs is not "wonky."

Ableist bullshit.

I have tried reading this book out loud without laughing, and so far, no luck.
