This is our personal favourite in terms of Sally Grindley’s picture books here at Lovereading4kids. It tells the story of rabbit and donkey. Rabbit is very inquisitive and is always asking questions about everything! He wants to know why the sky is blue and his old friend, Donkey, knows a lot of things, and promises to teach him but doesn’t always quite get round to it. In fact, in the end their roles are reversed in this wonderfully uplifting tale of friendship.
Sally Grindley began writing in 1984 while she was working for a children's book
club. Since 1995 she has been writing full time and has recently won the
Smarties Prize. She now has some fifty titles in print. 'Shhh' won the
Children's Book Award in 1992 and was shortlisted for the Smarties
Prize. 'Wake Up Dad' won the 1989 Best Books for Babies Award and
'There's a Monster In Our House Who Eats Books' was Highly Commended in
the 1997 Right Start/Petit Filous award, shortlisted in the 1998
Sheffield Children's Book Award and selected by the Young Book Trust in
1998 as one of the '100 best books'.
