Crash Bang Donkey! — Jill Newton

Things are quiet on Peaceful Farm... until Donkey shows up! First he makes a racket with his great big drum and tootling trumpet. Then he raises a ruckus banging the piano and jamming his guitar! Farmer Gruff, of course, isn't pleased at all. But one day, everyone realizes that just as there's a time to be quiet, there's a time to be noisy, too, and at last Donkey discovers his purpose. Jill Newton's rambunctious story and rich illustrations will bring welcome energy to any storytime.
