TOFU TAKES TIME | Kirkus Reviews

Much more alliterative hanky-panky from the creators of The Wonky Donkey (2010).

Working on the precept (legitimate, right here) that something value doing is value overdoing, Smith and Cowley give their wildly common Wonky Donkey a daughter—who, being “cute and small,” was a “dinky donkey”; having “lovely lengthy eyelashes” she was in consequence a “blinky dinky donkey”; and so forth…and on…and on till the cumulative refrain sails previous foolish and ludicrous to irresistibly hysterical: “She was a pungent funky plinky-plonky winky-tinky,” and many others. The repeating “Hee Haw!” refrain hardly suggests what any viewers’s escalating response will probably be. Within the illustrations the daughter sports activities her dad or mum’s huge, shiny eyes and winsome grin whereas posing in a multicolored mohawk subsequent to a country boombox (“She was a punky blinky”), portray her hooves pink, crossing her rear legs to sign a must pee (“winky-tinky inky-pinky”), demonstrating her smelliness with the assistance of a histrionic hummingbird, and at last cozying as much as her proud, evidently single dad or mum (there’s no signal of one other) for a closing cuddle.

Needs to be packaged with an oxygen provide, as it is going to incontestably elicit uncontrollable gales of giggles.
