Don't judge a book by its ratings...
So, I bought this book because of the ratings. I opened it and was so disappointed in what I found. The pictures were disturbing but what was more disturbing is that I feel like this book would inadvertantly teach kids to poke fun at people who are different. The donkey has a prosthetic leg which makes him "wonkey", and one eye which makes him "winkey". I have a 2 year old and 5 year old and thought of how horrified I'd be if they saw a person with a prosthetic leg and called that person was wonkey! Not the message I want to teach my kids. I know everyone has their own opinions but I wanted to throw a word of caution to those who are buying this book due to the ratings it received.
