A wee donkey sat in the shade of a tree. ‘If you had one wish, Grandad, what would it be?’ The wee donkey thought, ‘I can’t turn back the years, but I can get Grandad some great souvenirs.’ The wee donkey heads across Ireland, where she “borrows” the Jeanie Johnston ship from the Liffey, the round tower from Glendalough, kisses from the Blarney Stone and more, to bring to her grandad. But you can’t go taking national treasures like that, particularly when the police find out! A warm and entertaining picture book from the team who brought you Where Are You, Puffling? The Jeanie Johnston (Dublin), Glendalough, Blarney castle, Giant’s Causeway, Tara, the sea on the Wild Atlantic Way and the Book of Kells in Trinity are just a few of the places Wee Donkey visits to bring her grandad a souvenir.Wee Donkey's Treasure Hunt
‘I’d fix this old back and these wobbly knees, and go see the sights that are out there to see.’
She slipped through the gate with a small wooden cart, in search of some gifts that would warm Grandad’s heart.
