The Big Bully Donkey found out what it was like when the shoe is on the other foot, but sometimes ‘the hero’ will surprise you…and the message is…keep your mind open and it’s all about teamwork. ( )

I very much enjoyed the first book in this series so I knew I was in for more fun adventures with Max, Lax, and Jack, and their new friend, Donkey.
.
The friends are excited. it’s a perfect day for kite flying and each has made their own, hoping theirs would be the one to fly the farthest.
.
Poor Donkey’s kite won’t fly and he asks for help from his new friends. But, one each one is too busy to listen to him.
.
Donkey wanders down to the lake, sad and frustrated. Some mean Canadian geese poke fun at him, putting him on the receiving end of bullying. Then, with a swoosh and a huge splash Gusty, the big white goose, crashes the bully party and shoos away the mean geese.
.
He listens to Donkey, and together they build a new kite. It’s a good one and everything is fine, until it isn’t.
.
This is another fun adventure in Horse Valley. I enjoyed visiting with the characters again and meeting some new ones.
.
Children will learn the true value of friendship and not giving up. There were more wonderful illustrations that kept me lingering, looking for all the hidden gems secreted on each page.
.
With such fun, colorful characters and lessons to be learned, children will delight in this new adventure and be begging for more. ( )
