Young donkey Buzzy hosts a playdate with animal friends Allie and Sally; it goes smoothly despite wee conflicts about sharing. This lift-the-flap book is pitched to a slightly older crowd than Lucy Cousins's Maisy titles, but given the simple sentences, low level of conflict, and bright, flat images thickly outlined in black, a comparison--and a favorable one--is inevitable.
