Synopsis

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!

Review:

★ "Ewe will love it! (You will too.)....the combination of language and images will have young readers in fits of giggles. The artwork beautifully conveys the zany hijinks....Hilarious. How will Yam and Donkey top this?"—Kirkus, STARRED review

"[Bell] finds endless ways to prompt laughs through Donkey’s aggressively clueless expressions....bringing hilarity to a topic that often 'can bee confusing.'"—Booklist

"[C]risply drawn, tightly cropped, and gleefully in-your-face—a narrative dynamic that the target age should eat right up."—Publishers Weekly

""[E]nticingly bright, cartoon illustrations." —School Library Journal
