#EasterOMC Challenge 15 - A book about a hilarious animal

This book is so cute and hilarious. This video of a grandma reading it went viral a few years ago. Cracks me up every time. 🤣

Soubhiville Yes I love this video! I got a copy of this for my nephew when the video went viral and in return my step mom sent me a video of my dad reading it aloud to him. Adorable 🥰 2y
AllDebooks @Soubhiville that's so sweet. I've got a copy to read to my niece. Such a fun book to read aloud x 2y

This book is about a silly wonky donkey who only has three legs and how he has to get through life like that because he was only born with three legs. He is silly, funny and a wonky donkey.

This MF book is full of rhymes! The donkey isn‘t just wonky, but he‘s winky, cranky, spunky, and so much more! This book would be good for individual reading IR so kids can practice rhyming to themselves... and probably have a few giggles too. #ucflae3414sp21 https://kids.scholastic.com/kids/book/the-wonky-donkey-9780545261241/.

Chaseb This video is the song and video of the book that would be great for kids to watch after they read it!

Perfect for UDL strategies 1.2 & 1.3 offer alternative auditory and visual information. EL strategy 16 integration of speaking and listening and 29 offer a variety of reference materials works well with the book and video!
I had a lot of fun reading this one!

DrSpalding We love the dog pictures. Thank you for adding some creativity to the images! The YouTube video is awesome and certainly meets the universal design principles you selected. Tabatha will storytell this book tomorrow! Can‘t wait. 4y

This spunky hanky-panky cranky stinky-dinky lanky honky-tonky winky wonky donkey is sure to grab their attention! The repetition throughout this MF book will help students become more familiar with the words, and would be great presented as a CR.

TabathaA Based on an-award winning song, this Premier New Zealand Gold Book Seller and New Zealand Post Children‘s Choice Book offers multiple ways to present the content. Use UDL 2.5 (illustrate through multiple media) and EL 14 (simplify your speech by making it slower and redundant) in your lesson.

The Wonkey Donkey is a hilarious about a donkey that has three legs. The book was originally a song that became a book for children. This F (fiction) book would be good for S. The authors website https://www.craigsmith.co.nz/Kids-Section/ has music tracks and an audio book to get the students more involved in the book. The UDL principal 5.2 using multiple tools for construction as well as EL 16 integrate speaking, listening, reading and

KarliCrean Writing activities would go well with this book and website because the website includes different tools for reading/listening to this book. #UCFLAE3414SP20 (edited) 5y
DrSpalding You must of enjoyed my read aloud last week! This is such a cute series. Read aloud or storytelling if you don‘t get to tongue-tied would both work for these books. Cute picture! 5y

This MF hilarious picture book is written by Craig Smith and Illustrated by Katz Cowley. One day, while walking down the street, they saw a donkey with 3 legs! It was such a wonky donkey. As the book continues the author adds things to the donkey to add adjectives that end in a y to the name of the Wonky Donkey. This book would be a fun book to CR with your students. This video shows the song that was created from the book and adds more visuals...

Bshelton27 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SDeQT9zCvi4 This would use UDL strategy 1.2( offering alternatives for auditory information) and ESOL strategy 17( providing contextual support through audio) #ucflae3414su19 5y
DeannaP This is such a funny book! I love how you contained a YouTube video that you could use to offer alternatives for auditory information! I didn‘t think to look there! 5y
Macker11 This book will get the entire classroom laughing! I love the video you cited, it would be a great video for the students to watch. 5y
Kendylleonard The book is so fun! I know students would love listening to it while learning all about adjectives! I like that you found a video too, students will love playing it and listening to it over and over again! 5y
DrSpalding Your storytelling of this book was fabulous! You must use this in your classroom! Fun video resource. 5y

The words "hilarious internet sensation" very nearly put me off this book - what the internet finds hilarious is often of no interest whatsoever to your average bookworm! But I'm glad they didn't because this really is a great little book. It has a cheeky sense of humour and my 4 year old loved the tongue twisty descriptions of this most singular donkey. Great for reading out loud and encouraging participation.

Areader2 ❤️ that book,I read it all the time to my grandson! 6y

Picked this up for my kids to open on Christmas Eve. We usually do two books before bed time on Dec 24th. I got them Mr. Tiger Goes Wild & this one!

Have you read it before? If you have kids this one is a must. It's hilarious.

#fallintoreading #madeyoulaugh

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yes, the video of the grandma reading this is really funny but the book itself is pretty funny too! Great rhyming book for the little ones. I can't imagine anyone reading this without having a twitch of the lips.

AlaMich OMG that video was hilarious!! My wife teaches first grade and ordered the book for her class. However, her principal nixed it, her reason being that it might encourage the kids to mock the disabled. 🙄🙄🙄 (edited) 6y
mrp27 @AlaMich That's a bummer! Such a silly joyful little book. 6y

#BookMail Pt2 I can‘t quite believe the whole world losing their minds over the tagged book. I‘ve read it to all my grandbabies & after a few repetitions you can‘t get it outta your head! This #kidsbookhaul is for a fellow #LitMail member coz it‘s sold out on every international bookstore, irl & online. I managed to get a copy on an Aussie only store, but a day later even they were sold out! The author needs to send flowers to that grandma!

I laugh every time I watch this video - glad to hear that the author is benefiting from a spike in sales! The article I read says it ranked no. 2 among ALL books on Amazon on Friday. And if you've been trying to get your hands on a copy - the publisher is rushing to print another 50K copies 😄

Lizpixie Ive had a copy of this for ages, read it to my grand babies quite a few times. I can‘t believe the hype around it at the moment, it‘s just a silly rhyming book which is in pretty much most Aussie homes & bookstores. I‘ve actually ordered a copy for another Litmail member, coz it‘s sold out on all international bookstores on the net. There‘s plenty more books like this in Australia, like 6y

I so hope the link (in comments) works because OMG, this video!😍

I work in a Children‘s Library & Storytime is my favorite thing. Sometimes, though, you just get overcome with emotion! One fateful Easter, I tried to read all the Knuffle Bunny books in a row & ended up crying. 😅 (Trixie grows up into such a kind-hearted individual!) Anyway, THIS is one of the reasons it‘s important to read to your child; it‘s just as good for you as it is them!
