Many animals came together to form a band, drove off robbers in the end. Yes i would read this because it is kind of funny. Grades 1-3

The illustrations and text aren't very compelling, and neither my nieces nor I are very interested in this book. We'll swap it away soon. ( )

I spent hours of my childhood reading this book...and listening to it on record. Now that I think about it, I don't know which was more enticing: the book or the record. Either way, I love this story. It's so much fun. Maybe because it has a donkey as the main character (I do love donkeys), but this is a charming tale that has survived throughout the ages! The illustrations are also fabulous as well and really show some great emotion on the animals' faces. ( )
