Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-A story about friendship that captures the importance of accepting one another regardless of differences. Ernest is a lonely little donkey who wants to befriend a beautiful show horse. At first the proud equine doesn't want to be bothered by the smaller creature, but Ernest's persistence and enthusiasm win him over. Unfortunately, the author overstates the message rather than letting the animals' reactions speak for themselves. Also, some of the dialogue is stilted. The illustrations in soft watercolors in earth-and-natural tones are realistic and appealing, though the donkey's ears are inordinately long. The facial expressions of the animals reflect the sentimentality of the story.
