It's two books in one as Buzzy and his gentle humor triumph over anxieties so many children experience: the bathtub (will Buzzy run the risk of being sucked down into the drain?) and bedtime (just who is really lurking in the dark corners of Buzzy's room when he's all alone at night?). Readers will identify with this charmingly charismatic donkey who conquers not only fears, but readers' hearts as well.
