Little Donkey and the Baby-sitter

by Rindert Kromhout, Annemarie van Haeringen (Illustrations), Annemarie Van (Illustrations)

Little Donkey's mother is going out with a friend, and Nanny Hen is coming to baby-sit. But Little Donkey doesn't want a sitter! In true little kid style, Little Donkey soon figures out that the rules aren't always the same when Mama is away.When Nanny offers oatmeal, he asks for fries, accompanied by a resounding "Mama always lets me." Using the same line, Little Donkey gets to play outside past bedtime, gets a candy when he falls down, and gets a bedtime story told just the way he likes it.

It was a cute book any child will like to read or hear read to them. I was a little confused with the why Mama Donkey woke Little Donkey to have a bath and then the book ended. All in all it was a fun read.

Adorable. Oh my god, I love that little donkey. What a cute book. I've just reread it after several years and oh, it's so adorable. The characters are lovely and the babysitting story is hilarious. A perfect blending of text and illustrations.

Kleine Ezel heeft de harten hier in huis allemaal gestolen. In dit verhaal is hij lekker ondeugend, zoals het kinderen betaamd.
