Description
When a donkey with a talent for mispronunciation tries to introduce himself to a grammarian, a simple phrase—“I Yam a Donkey!”—sparks a cascade of confusion, misunderstandings, and delightfully logical corrections. As the words tumble and the meanings shift, the story playfully explores how language works, why we hear what we expect to hear, and how communication can break down even when everyone is trying to be understood. With Cece Bell’s distinctive, expressive storytelling and visual wit, this book turns a linguistic mix-up into a charming lesson about grammar, perspective, and the joy of getting things wrong before getting them right. Perfect for young readers who love wordplay, it celebrates the everyday adventure of learning how to speak, listen, and interpret.
