King Donkey Ears
Lesley Sims, Carl Gordon, Mike Gordon
The traditional tale retold for beginner readers ready to tackle slightly more complicated storylines and sentence structures. The King has a secret. He has donkey’s ears! But when he tells the barber his secret, it surely can’t be a secret for long… Part of the Usborne Reading Programme developed with reading experts at the University of Roehampton. Includes several pages of reading-related puzzles. Also available as ebook with narration in British English (only on tablets that support audio).

I would recommend this story to someone else because it is easy to understand, entertaining, and has a clear moral that is still relevant today.

I didn't like that the king put everyone in prison, but I did like that the harp told everyone and it had a face!

It is so funny when the harp sings: “The King’s got donkey ears, the King’s got donkey ears!”

It was amazing! Everyone knew the King had donkey ears because they always went to prison after cutting his hair. I like dit when he let them all go.

The king was a little bit mean. He sent all his servants to jail. What I like about it is that at the end he freed all his servants and he learned to love his donkey ears.

I liked how it sort of had a moral to it, don't be ashamed of what you are. I didn't like any of the characters, none stood out to me. I would not recommend this book.
