From Caldecott Medal winner Roger Duvoisin, a tale of friendship and self-acceptance. Donkey-Donkey is sad because his ears are too long, and when he asks his farm animal friends for styling advice nothing is quite right. But when Donkey-donkey meets a new friend who likes his ears just as they are, the mule hero of this delightful book learns that accepting himself, long ears and all, is the most important lesson.
