In Little Green Donkey, readers are introduced to a charming tale about a young donkey with a very particular palate. Little Donkey has a singular obsession with grass, finding it sweet, crunchy, and juicy. His love for grass is so intense that even his pillow is made from it, allowing him to munch away as soon as he wakes up. His mother, concerned about his limited diet, tries to encourage him to explore other foods, showcasing colorful fruits in a playful juggling act. However, Little Donkey remains steadfast in his preference, content in his grassy world.
As the story unfolds, Little Donkey's stubbornness is put to the test when he unexpectedly catches a glimpse of his reflection.
