Donkey's Busy Day — Natalie Russell

Donkey is extremely proud to have been put in charge of the farm, and to be responsible for ensuring that all the jobs get done. But when he tries to encourage the animals to help him, they all have their excuses: "My tummy hurts!" or "Duck stepped on my toe!" So Donkey has to think about ways to entice the animals into doing some hard work, perhaps involving a special treat of a picnic and a tractor ride! A charming and very funny story about doing chores that all parents and young children will relate to.
