Donkey-donkey
Donkey-donkey | Roger Duvoisin
1 post | 1 read
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 dogs, to the side like the sheeps, to the front like the pigs. But each unnatural arrangement leads to increasing insult and injury. Finally a little girl passing by remarks on the beauty of the pretty little donkeys ears! At last Donkey-donkey is happy. A classic tale of vanity and folly, and learning to accept oneselfprotrudent ears, redundant name, and all.

Book Haul, Part 1
I had to drop The Tall Girl back at school today, so to console myself, OBVIOUSLY I had to go to my favorite bookstore. My brother and I had Donkey, Donkey when we were kids, and I was happy to find this copy. Europa Editions copy of Gardam's Faith Fox, 3 Modern Library editions, and an 1860-ish edition of Robert Southey's Joan of Arc and other poems (no idea who he is, but the book itself is gorgeous, with gilt- edged pages.)

LeahBergen I think I have that same edition of Clarissa. 👍🏻 4y
Aimeesue @LeahBergen It's slightly abridged, but it's an ML edition. I found it shelved in the literary biographies section. 😂😂😂 4y
