Dilly the Donkey

by Elli Woollard, Steven Lenton (Illustrations)

Meet Dilly the wonky donkey in this joyous, fun-filled, sun-drenched book that's packed with positive values. Written by Elli Woollard and illustrated by Steven Lenton, this delightful story puts age and wisdom before beauty, encourages self belief, and shows that no matter how old and wonky you may be, you can still be exceptional! Dilly the Donkey may be little and wonky—and not as young as she used to be—but each day she lovingly carts the children to school. That is until her owner replaces her with a flashy young horse! Is poor Dilly too old and bent to be of any use? Of course not! She’s kind, brave, and smart, too, so when the new horse catches the eye of two sneaky thieves, it’s up to Dilly to halt their dastardly plan and save the day. Could this be the start of a whole new career? A third fabulous story from creators of the The Great Gran Plan and Dinosaurs Don’t Draw .

I read this book with my kids and they loved it ... I'm not gonna lie, I only added it to my read shelf to reach my 2022 Goodreads reading goal, but yipeeeee for me GOAL COMPLETE! Nevertheless I enjoyed reading this with the kids. It was full of colourful illustrations and some great rhyming skills!

My 4 month old baby loves this book. He gets excited (squealing, smiling and limb waving) when we read it even though I'm certain he understands none of the actual words. It's a really fun story from my perspective so I'm sure he will enjoy it for the story too as he gets older and it will take me a while to get bored of it. The drawings are colourful and full of interesting things to look at that add to the story. We own two of this authors books and enjoy both so will be keeping an eye out for more from them in the future

Sonu ne kadar tatlıya bağlansa da sahibin muamelesi iç acıtıyor.

Dilly the Donkey enjoyed pulling the children to school however his owner thought that she was getting too old to be doing that so he replaced her with a younger, stronger horse. However there were thieves that saw the new horse as a wonderful animal that they could steal and Dilly had overheard their plans of the theft. She tried to warn the owner but unfortunately the owner could not understand her so in the end, she came up with a plan to scare of the robbers. She succeeded and was still sold. However her new owner was the sheriff of the town who used her successful plan and continued to bring criminals to order.
