The Thinking Donkey

The Wisdom of Harold

‘It’s true, I carry man’s burdens, but burdens are easy to carry for people when you love them.

And if I, a donkey, can so easily carry the burdens of men out of love… then how much more would God the Lord of everything be able to love men, too.’

What you need to know:

Harold, the thinking donkey, is a thoughtful story about resisting injustices and being kind to others. An important message is how moral attitudes are conveyed with the knowledge and use of a wide vocabulary, and therefore of how vital the importance of reading is becoming in a world of emoji mobile dialogue and poor literacy.

Young minds can be easily influenced, and persuaded about many things, but sometimes they need to resist the persuasion of peers trying to take advantage of any intolerance leading them into quick judgements, for by encouraging their tolerance they cannot be so easily persuaded, and will begin learning to think for themselves.

Tom's Drum

Is young Will a thief? Is young Tom playing tricks? Why are Tom’s parents angry with the cook and the haughty servant? Why do the elves, gnomes and pixies visit Tom’s grand house and Will’s humble cottage on Christmas Eve?

Doubly Amazing

Animals captivate children not because they mimic human abilities, but because they possess extraordinary adaptations that seem almost beyond human reach.

With whimsy, inventive language, and playful rhyme, Doubly Amazing celebrates the remarkable talents of quadrupeds, winged creatures, and aquatic wonders. From the familiar elephant to the exotic axolotl, each animal appears twice, paired with a different counterpart to highlight their unique skills in a fun, lighthearted competition of one-upmanship.

As young readers discover these fascinating abilities, they may begin to wonder: if animals are so gifted, where do humans stand? The answer might surprise them.

General Smudge’s Last War

War has been declared between Gorgonia and Farfallonia, and their armies stand poised for battle. But when General Smudge gives the order to attack, his soldiers simply sit down. ‘It’s too dangerous out there,’ they protest. ‘Someone could get hurt.’

With traditional combat no longer an option, the entire concept of warfare must be reimagined. New, harmless weaponry is devised – ensuring that no one is injured while still allowing General Smudge to pursue his dreams of military glory.

Though often veering into slapstick comedy, this satirical tale carries a deeper message beneath the humor, challenging the very nature of war itself.
