** "Deborah Dent and Her Donkey and Madam Fig's Gala" by Unknown is a pair of lighthearted stories that likely originated in the early 1800s, filled with funny situations, and the sort of fun you might find in a small town. The book contains two stories of joyful undertakings and neighborly activity. The first story follows Deborah Dent, who is convinced her donkey is smart and should teach kids, so she tries to have her donkey get students and to learn things like drawing and shaving. In the second story, Madam Fig, a vivacious grocer, hosts a big party for everyone nearby that has music, dancing, a tub of brine, and lots of laughter. Alongside the stories, there are pictures that make the reading experience even more lively, perfectly matching the witty events happening within the narratives, and showing the cheerful feelings of friendship and lots of laughing going around. **
