Editorial Reviews

From Booklist
Ages 3-5. Ernest is a miniature donkey. He's smaller than the other donkeys and the cow, and he's certainly smaller than the horse. Upset about his size, he tries different things to look taller, but the other animals don't notice his machinations--and for good reason. As they finally tell him, they never noticed he was small, because, "Who you are comes from the inside." In some ways, this may not be very helpful to kids, especially if they've been teased about their size. Still, the message-heavy story does have reassuring elements to which some children may respond. The ink-and-watercolor illustrations are simple and sweet, especially the pictures of Ernest, who looks like a huggable stuffed animal. For larger collections. Ilene Cooper

K-Gr 2-Wishing he were taller, a little donkey tries to compensate for his short stature by standing on a little hill, which doesn't fool the cows. Ernest then tries standing on the ramp to the stable and stretching his neck way up high, but he doesn't fool Travis the horse either. Travis, however, notices that something is wrong and asks why Ernest is upset. When the donkey tells him that he is tired of being so tiny, Travis replies, "Well yes, I guess you are smaller.-I never noticed before." When questioned, the cows agree that they never noticed it before either. The animals relay the age-old message-"Size doesn't matter. It's who you are that matters," and Ernest realizes that he is special. Camburn's pale pen-and-ink illustrations assign plenty of personality to the barnyard animals. Both the story and the illustrations have a light, airy feel to them. Children will enjoy reading and listening to this book.-Lisa Gangemi Krapp, Middle Country Public Library, Centereach, NY
