Based on a true story.
In The Adventures Of Tippie-Doo, a silly little donkey discovers the world around him. This is a true story about mischievous donkeys who like to play tricks on their mama.
Sharing and thinking of others are key life lessons taught in the book.
Tippie (Tippie-Doo) and her siblings are mischievous donkeys who love to play tricks on their (human) mom. Tippie-Doo Mama Always Has The Last Laugh is a true account of the one instance when Tippie's prank didn't go as planned.
Carrots are a favorite snack item for donkeys, so when Daisy-Doo and Tippie-Doo saw Mama carrying a bag of carrots, they had the same idea: get the bag and hide the loot! Tippie-Doo's mental blueprint plan reminded me of classic Looney Tune cartoons. The drawn-out plan looks sound, but you know it's doomed to fail at some point. And when it does, you'll be laughing!
Readers will giggle as Daisy-Doo zooms across the pen, a lunch bag dangling from her mouth, as their Mama chases after them. They might also snicker watching the human and donkey play tug of war with the sandwich. I bet readers will pick a side in the food battle: Team Donkey or Team Mama! Whichever side they choose to win, young listeners might be shocked to discover it was all for naught. While Daisy and Tippie were playing a trick on their Mama, behind-the-scene trickery was also happening to them. Before reading the conclusion, ask your child or class who they believe nabbed the carrots from Daisy and Tippie.
Through comedic text and imagery, Tippie-Doo Mama Always Has The Last Laugh teaches children that not everyone loves being tricked, and sometimes, a trick can backfire on you. It also stresses the importance of sharing and having patience.
Pictures, storyline, plot, and resolution: Every aspect blended and complimented each other quite nicely. However, the last line didn't read like a finale to a story. I read it over multiple times, and it still felt off. I wanted the donkeys to say "I love you" back. Other than that, I found no issues with the laugh-out-loud book and highly recommend you to share it with your own trickster.
Amazon's recommended reading age is 4-10 years.
