The Wonky Donkey

*The Wonky Donkey* is a popular children’s book written by New Zealand author and illustrator, **Craig Smith**. Originally published in 2009, the book features a humorous, rhyming story about a quirky donkey who has a series of amusing and increasingly exaggerated characteristics.

The story follows the antics of a “wonky donkey” as he is described in increasingly funny and absurd ways, building up to a punchline that’s both silly and memorable. The repetitive, rhyming nature of the text makes it a fun read for young children and is often used in classrooms and homes for its rhythm and humor.

The book became widely popular due to its engaging storytelling and fun illustrations, and it was eventually turned into a song as well, which further boosted its popularity. The energetic and comical nature of *The Wonky Donkey* has made it a beloved classic in children’s literature.
