A home video of a Scottish grandmother’s uncontrollable giggles while
reading The Wonky Donkey picture book to her baby grandson have sent
book lovers around the world rushing to get their hands on a copy, with
publishers left scrambling to meet demand.
New Zealander Craig Smith’s children’s book, based on Smith’s song of
the same name, tells of a three-legged – or wonky – donkey, adding a
new adjective every few pages until it ends with a “spunky, hanky-panky
cranky stinky dinky lanky honky-tonky winky wonky donkey”. In a recent video made by her daughter,
Scottish granny Janice Clark reads the story to her four-month-old
grandson Archer, and laughs progressively harder as the donkey becomes
increasingly bizarre. “Oh dear, how can anybody read this seriously,”
says Clark. “This is going to kill me.” The video has been viewed more
than 3m times in the last week.
Smith told the Guardian that demand had “gone through the roof” for
the picture book since the video of Clark took off: in New Zealand, his
publisher is “rushing to print another 50,000 copies, with a view for
more”, while The Wonky Donkey is now also being reprinted in the UK.
Amazon in the US and the UK has sold out, while used bookseller AbeBooks
said that it has sold “hundreds of copies” of The Wonky Donkey in the
last week, amid “massive demand” around the world.
Although the picture book, which is illustrated by Katz Cowley, had
sold more than 1m copies around the world to date, the majority of that
was in Australia and New Zealand, said Smith, who hopes it will find a
more global readership.
“The
video is gold. Watching Janice read and laugh was just delightful, and
like many, her infectious laugh had me laughing too,” said Smith. “I’ve
always wondered why sales had not taken off so much in the UK and US,
but that looks like that’s about to change.”
Cowley said that while The Wonky Donkey has been a household name in
Australia and New Zealand since it was first published in 2009, the book
had been only “an underground success” in the UK.
“I am so glad that Wonky’s reputation has finally come to bite him on
the bum on this side of the world thanks to ‘Wonky’s Guardian Granny’. I
couldn’t be more delighted,” Cowley said, calling Clark “a reminder in
life, when all else fails, to fall about laughing. She has a spirit like
Wonky’s.”
At Hachette, which publishes the book in the UK, group picture book
director Emma Layfield said the publisher had already seen a
“well-deserved jump in demand” for the book, “especially in Scotland”.
“It’s delightful to see the infectious appeal of Wonky Donkey spread
around the globe. The video is a fantastic demonstration that the best
picture books entertain the whole family, not just the kids,” said
Layfield.
