Description

Young Marty, a willful mule, learns that there are rewards to not being stubborn. The coauthor is Pat Sargent. Book #31

Quick Summary

Young Marty, a stubborn mule who thinks he knows best, gets into a series of small misadventures when he refuses to listen to advice. The story shows how his willful attitude leads to funny but ultimately harmless problems, and the payoff comes when he discovers that a little flexibility can make life easier and earn him a tasty reward. It's perfect for kids just starting to read on their own, especially those who love animal characters with a bit of sass. Parents will appreciate the simple lessons about cooperation, and the bright, expressive illustrations keep the pages turning. If your child enjoys early-reader books like "The Berenstain Bears" or "Pete the Cat," they'll likely love this one too.
