A video of a Scottish grandmother giggling uncontrollably while reading a picture book to her baby grandson has gone viral on the Internet. The book in question, The Wonky Donkey, written by New Zealand author Craig Smith, was first released in 2009. Thanks to this unexpected Internet success, sales of the book have suddenly skyrocketed worldwide! In New Zealand, its publisher is rushing to print another 50,000 copies.

Watching Janice read and laugh was just delightful, and like many, her infectious laugh had me laughing too,” said Craig Smith.
