A side-splittingly funny picture book about a silly donkey, a cranky
yam, and an irresistible ewe, packed with hilarious homonyms and the
distinctive humor of Newbery Honoree Cece Bell. For fans of P is for
Pterodactyl.
Hilarity meets homonyms in this high-comedy companion to I Yam a
Donkey by Cece Bell. A persnickety spud, Yam, introduces the
grammar-challenged Donkey to a new friend, Ewe, a lady sheep. The
confusion between "ewe" and "you" results in a fabulously funny series
of who's-on-first misunderstandings, even though Yam explains the
concept of homonyms to Donkey clearly enough for the youngest of readers
to understand. Heightening the humor is an over-the-top love triangle,
because everyone is in love with You. Err, Ewe. Perfect for Valentine's
Day or any day!
