I Am Super Impressed...
I’m always looking for fun books to read to my two nephews — books where there are no ninjas and there are more words than Pow!, Bang! and Crash! This is a book that I can enjoy reading to them as much as they will take pleasure in the story…The photographs are wonderful (who doesn’t like mini donks) and being a New Englander, I am super impressed by the photos from Mount Washington…I can relate to the key message — that it’s important to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors. Donkey-Donk shows us that a hike is not just reaching the pinnacle, it’s about training, determination and stamina; it’s about the things you see along the way; and with a little motivation, anyone can do it. - EquineInk.com
Surprised and Delighted
In Take A Hike!, each turn of the page shows another part of the adventure and includes pictures of the adorable Donkey-Donk, who really traveled to the infamous Mount Washington to take photos for the book! I was surprised and delighted by the pictures of Donkey-Donk in silly situations, like training for the hike on a treadmill and trying to fit inside of a small backpacking tent the night before the big ascent. Along the way, you’ll also learn a few fun facts about the infamous Mount Washington, like how it is the location of the fastest wind speed ever recorded! The story of Donkey-Donk’s hike also encourages children to get outside and go on a hiking adventure of their own. Having hiked Mount Washington in the past, I enjoyed reliving the adventure through Donkey-Donk and am excited to share this book with my young nieces and nephews. - Tentside.com
Gorgeous Photos
The first things that catch your eye when you pick up the book are the gorgeous photographs of breathtaking views, each with Donkey-Donk front and center. The scenery is amazing. The donkey knows how to pose. Next you notice the lightly humorous, gently tongue-in-cheek story that will delight youngsters. The best part is that the text is sweet and succinct, not too wordy or overdone like some children’s books can be. It gives just the right amount of information using appropriate vocabulary, then moves on. And move it does, right up the mountain. Do you know what is at the top of Mount Washington? You will find out if you read this book. Take A Hike! would be perfect to accompany a trip to New Hampshire or to encourage kids to get outside and take a hike in their own state. It is a must have for young horse or donkey lovers, too. Check out a copy today! - Wrapped In Foil
