For the past 10 years, kids all over New Zealand (and the odd granny), have enjoyed meeting Craig Smith's spunky, hanky-panky, cranky, stinky, dinky, lanky, honky-tonky, winky-wonky donkey in his award-winning musical story. Now though, the Wonky Donkey has a child, and she's just as funny and quirky as her dad! Meet Dinky Donkey!

​

If you and your kids have already read The Wonky Donkey, or any of Craig's other musical stories, they'll enjoy this one.

​

Just like her famous father, the Dinky Donkey's full of surprises (she enjoys rowdy music and plays the piano for a start), which means kids get another trait added to the ever-expanding list.

​

The talented New Zealand illustrator Katz Cowley also has a lot of fun with the pictures of Dinky as well, like the picture of Dinky with a rainbow mohawk and a chain round her neck.

​

There's also a bonus challenge for kids as well, as there's a small green bird in each of the pictures, can your kids spot it?

​

Overall, this is another hilarious cumulative story from a talented New Zealand duo, and perfect for fans young and old of Craig's stories. Hee-haw!
