Eat Up, Little Donkey

Little Donkey joins the ranks of picky eaters in his latest picture book, and his unruly responses to his mother’s efforts to feed him will provoke laughs. “Here comes a train!” Mama says. “My tummy says no,” replies the long-eared little one, sticking out his tongue. “Here comes a plane!” he shouts on the next page, hurling his plate like a Frisbee. “Oh no, you don’t,” says Mama, before taking Little Donkey to the park, where she uses reverse psychology to change her son’s tune. A mischievous take on a common problem. Ages 3–up. (Sept.)
