Little Green Donkey

Little Green Donkey is a whimsical picture book about a young donkey whose exclusive diet of grass causes him to turn entirely green. His mother gently encourages him to try other foods, but he stubbornly refuses until he sees his own colorful reflection. This leads to a humorous exploration of new tastes, with the donkey eventually discovering carrots, which in turn changes his color again. It's a lighthearted and visually engaging story perfect for sparking conversations about healthy eating and the fun of trying new things, without shaming picky eaters.

Little Donkey doesn’t want to eat anything but yummy grass. Oh, dear — he has turned green! Is it time to try some other foods? Little Donkey loves eating grass. Grass is so juicy, zingy, sweet, and tangy! Mom asks him to please have a tiny taste of something else — oranges, watermelon, broccoli? — but a life of eating grass is just fine with Little Donkey. Until one day he spies his reflection in the watering hole and sees that he has turned green. Mom resumes her persuasion with new urgency. Apples and grapes? Yuck! No thank you! But carrots — carrots are crunchy, crispy, and delicious! Little Donkey is delighted with his new carrot-only diet and happy to transform from his all-green self to — oops! Pictures full of color and movement bring to life a charming story that will resonate with choosy eaters.
