We’ve been reading this book daily this past week. You is a story about the many reasons a little monkey is loved. It’s a short sweet rhyming tale thats fun to read aloud & shows lots of love, a perfect book to cuddle up for. They illustrations are beautiful depicting a mainly smiley monkey playing in the jungle, I especially liked the last page as the little monkey & parent have their tail entwined into a heart shape. They are also enhanced with flashes of shiny gold which definately caught Freya’s attention, well who can resist some sparkle.
The copy we have also has a soft cover & tough study pages which is ideal with Freya keen to turn pages, grab the book & steer towards her mouth.
Lovely photos of the kids, Damyanti! Colin McNaughton does a mean pirate I think. I would have to add Capt. Pugwash – a favourite from my own childhood.
