AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'My uncle's donkey is allowed in the house. And in the house, the donkey gets up to all sorts of things - he talks to his friends on the phone, does hoofstands in the kitchen, cartwheels in the living room, takes long baths and stays up late ... A humorous and entertaining picture book that will delight children and adults alike!' (From the publisher's website.)
