This simple story follows a standard premise - a character hears an off-hand comment by an adult and takes it literally. In this case, a donkey hears the farmer make a joke about how much time it spends with the barn cats and assumes it is true. It acts like a cat, therefore it must be a cat. When the other cats point out all of the ways that it is different it begins to feel lost and isolated. With charming illustrations, an easily grasped message about identity and belonging, and a solid dose of humor as the donkey engages in cat behaviors this will be entertaining for most young audiences. The illustrations are well designed and engaging for even a non-reader to follow.
