Little Donkey No-Never-Ever: A Summer Full of Adventures
The small, stubborn donkey No-Never-Ever is the reference point of every story. With his likeable way of stubbornly refusing to do some things, he repeatedly gets the animal family on the farm and the owner Claire into trouble. At the same time, he has a delightful twinkle in his eye that Claire finds hard to resist... As a result, he causes all sorts of commotion, thrilling little readers and even leaving adult readers smiling. About cohesion, friendship, small happiness and the really big questions!
Narrated humorously by multi-talent Martin Baltscheit, congenially illustrated by Claudia Weikert
A farm full of lovable characters who form a family
Great ‘Story Time’ fun for the whole family, supporting the ‘Growing up” age and difficulties with board books about everyday life challenges
"Everything has to change!" the farm’s animals think and have lots of ideas about how to get the new farmer Claire to redesign the farm according to their wishes. “Better not,” thinks the Little Donkey No-Never-Ever, who likes life as it is.
But before he knows it, he's in the middle of a plan for a ‘paradise’ on the farm. With the flash of his eyes, he can convince Claire of any task, no matter how absurd, that urgently needs to be done. So the cow gets a massage, the chicken coop a new coat of paint and the pig wallow becomes a pool.
Until poor Claire collapses from exhaustion and the animals are forced to conclude contritely: a summer full of adventures? - Yes! But a paradise without Claire? - Better not! So now the animals pitch in and make sure that the farm becomes a paradise for everyone.
