In 1943 in a small farm Near Parkerville, in central Texas, Jeff has been sent to his grandparents' farm to help him buckle down to work. His parents warned him that if he did not do the reading and spelling work with grandma, he would be brought home to go to summer school. Treated on the farm as a responsible member of the family, Jeff is given chores. Usually, he is paired with Monday, a strong-willed donkey who Jeff believes is the most cantankerous donkey that ever lived. Jeff knows what he needs to do, and what he needs Monday to do. Monday knows what Jeff thinks he should do. It is seldom what Jeff has planned. Readers will laugh at some of the situations Jeff and Monday get into as the summer wears on. The observant reader will sense Jeff's shifting attitude as he reminisces about his adventures with Monday and he credits the donkey with not only stubbornness, but with intelligence and bravery. When the donkey is attacked by a panther Monday's survival becomes paramount for Jef
