Donkey Says No! (Bilingual: English/Urdu)

A timid donkey teaches his friends that he does not like rough play. This story was inspired by the Aesop’s fable "The Ass and the Lion’s Skin" and is told through pictures that highly match the text. The text is in English and Urdu, the language of Pakistan. The English and Urdu text is written at the 3rd grade level. Information about Uttar Pradesh and animal conservation is included at the end of the book. The Urdu translation, by Mubashir Sheikh, is a faithful retelling of the same story. The beautiful digital art was produced by Edward C. Rooks, a wildlife illustrator and naturalist.
