Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a loving grandma who mailed this book to my 34-month-old grandson after seeing the video of another grandmother laughing her way through trying to read it to her grand-little. But I am furious and feel misled about this book. My grandson had a hard time going to bed tonight and woke an hour later in tears over the pictures in this book. Unbeknownst to me, this donkey has a bird pluck out his eye, has something happen to a leg or two, has big, yellow scary teeth, makes awful expressions with his face, and in general looks very strange and menacing, especially for a small impressionable child. My poor daughter and hubby have had to jump through hoops tonight to help "my baby" settle down. They’ve answered lots of questions and put a spin on the story that should not have been necessary. They have had to promise not to let him see the donkey again; have hidden the book and will attempt to return it. The rhyming silliness is cute, but I felt it's imperative to warn prospective purchasers/parents that the pictures in the book do not appear to follow the story line very well and may well cause emotional trauma. This is one ugly, scary donkey!! If your child is at all sensitive, this one is not for them. I wish I had known this before I hurt my grandchild with what I thought was a gift of love.
