The Most Expensive Book My Child Could Ask For...
What do you do normally when you kiddie asks for a book?
Well if your anything like me you would get it for them as there is nothing better for them than to read a good book
But to my surprise this is no ordinary book, it's a magical book that costs a lot of money, now your thinking to yourself what book is it?
is it the bible
the koran
the book about how to live forever
But you would be
Wrong!
My 5 year old wants Wonkey Donkey
We decided to search for it on the net to see what kind of price we could get it for and to our amazement we found some amazing deals
So the asking price for this book is over £800 on amazon.co.uk (same place I got the images from)
So why is this book so expensive?
I have no clue, it came from a shitty joke from a shitty song, do you remember it??
What do you call a donkey with 3 legs?
A wonkey donkey.
Do you get it? Well I don't get it for £800 I can tell you that. I thought it was some kind of joke with the price so i looked on eBay
oh ow
it costs more!!!!!!!
WTF, this is a 24 page book about a donkey who has 3 freaking legs, I'd topple over with 3 legs wouldn't you?
Then I saw something that I thought was impressive.
a kids paper back book at £800+ with 45 watches, yep, there is 45 people out there just in the UK who really want to pay out £800 for this book.
Then I started to look a little closer, How about we buy one that is signed by the author, maybe we have a few thousand pounds laying around but then I saw this.
the wonky donkey with a cd and it is signed at £200, well that is the starting price anyway, who knows where that is going to go?
I then saw this
Yes it is a lot cheaper than the £800 ones, but guess what, this isn't the book that we want, this is a freaking sticker book, I wonder how many people have bought this thinking they are getting the real thing.
Maybe I should draw and write a children's book, maybe I draw a dinosaur with no eyes, maybe I add a shitty joke you know like
What do you call a dinosaur with no eyes? doyouthinkhesawus?
Maybe I sell 300000 books at £800 each, what do you guys think?
till next time my friends.
Wow! You can get a paperback for under $400 USD. lol
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/177543270X/ref=sr_1_2_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1536278436&sr=8-2&keywords=wonkey+donkey
I'm gutted, I get a message from amazon saying that no one from that link delivers to here is the UK. $400 is better than $800 I would have considered it (not) haha
Guess I won't buy it then and try and figure out international shipping. lol
lol. if there is one at the next car boot I go to then i will pick one up then, there is always someone who doesn't know what they are selling haha

:D :D That really is an amazing deal! There must be gold between the pages. A map to Atlantis or or or... a portal to Narnia. But hey, it's an award winner!
You should most definitely write that doyouthinkhesawus. And add that to the list of things to do. And post pages of it as a teaser here in Steemit. I would buy it. One upvote at a time.
Anyways, booktopia.com seems to have in for a reasonable price. :) I wonder if they ship outside Australia. If they don't, you just have to know someone who's coming to Europe soon or willing to send a children's book to you. On the other hand, that book would be an excellent reason to go to Australia! :D

Good thing I have friends and family in Australia then in it haha. thats a really good price, I'm going to have to ask a family member to get it for me.
The idea of making doyouthinkhesawus gives me goose bumps might have to give it ago. one up vote at a time sounds like a plan. haha
What a great bargain! Do not hesitate to buy this book, hahaha :D
The people who are selling this at this price must think that people like me are millionaires and that i have this kind of money to float around.
next thing you know I will be looking for an apple for $50 haha
