    Why does the Donkey need doughnuts?

    So all the other bikes required nuts, bolts, pistons and gears to upgrade... And the Donkey requires... Doughnuts? Is it possible that the Donkey is actually Homer Simpson in disguise?

    Anyone else have a theory about why the Donkey requires doughnuts?

    Because they taste good? Maybe its a new childrens book. . . we used to read these to our kids)

    If you give a mouse a cookie he will want a glass of milk.
    If you give a cat a cupcake he'll ask for some sprinkles to go with it.
    If you give a pig a party she's going to ask for some balloons.

    And now...
    If you give a Donkey some Doughnuts, he will ask for more doughnuts. And more.. and more....

    Oh and by the way....google says this this ACTUALLY exists I am horrified to see:
    If you give a Donkey the White House, he will want to expand the government

    Both sides are some of the lowest forms of humanity, IMO. The horrifying part is that one side actually had the arrogance to generalize the other in a picture book. (I did have to chuckle though).

    I vote people and issues, not political platforms and stereotypes. Voting straight ticket is like saying a broken watch is working because it shows the correct time twice a day. . .

    The book was published by Dog Ear, which is a self-publishing company. I see it as one s****y guy's attempt to pander to the lowest denominator in his party. Likewise, there's probably someone out there who will pay for his "If You Give an Elephant The House" book to appear on Amazon too.

    It is pathetic and disgusting when people try to groom kids for party affiliation this way.

    ...but I am interested in knowing if the donkey eats donuts in the book.
