Parents of picky eaters will definitely empathise with Little Donkey’s mother. All Little Donkey wants to eat is grass. It’s green and yummy and they don’t understand the need to eat anything else.

Their mother tries and tries to get them to try a new food but they don’t want to hear it … until they go too far and turn green!

Finally their mother succeeds in getting them to attempt some other foods and Little Donkey discovers a new favourite.

This was a really cute book and I loved the ending. This story reminds me of someone I knew as a kid who ate so much of a specific food for so long that their skin finally betrayed them, tinted with the colour of the food.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Candlewick Press for the opportunity to read this book.
