I had never heard of this story until I was shopping at a local bookstore where they informed me they could not keep it on the shelf!
The narrator is walking down the road and encounters a three legged donkey. As the story progresses, the narrator adds attributes about the donkey and a summarizing statement about the attribute. The text is cumulative.
My boys and I enjoyed reading it together, but what made the book popular and what made us laugh really hard was a YouTube video of a Scottish Granny reading it aloud to her four month old grandson. Her laugh is infectious!!
-Borrowed from the library.
