I read this
popular children’s story book called ‘Monkey Puzzle’ to my grandson the other
day.
It’s written by
Julia Donaldson and beautifully illustrated by Axel Scheffler.
This delightful
children’s story is about a little monkey who has lost his mum in the forest.
When a butterfly
tries to help he always gets it wrong, introducing the wrong animals along the
way.
I wonder if the
little monkey will ever find his mum.
It’s a
wonderful book for young children and my grandson loves listening to me read this
book to him.
Afterwards we
look through the pages together to find other insects and bugs in amongst the
beautifully illustrated pages.
The rhyming
storyline is great and I’d definitely recommend this book for young children.
My final
thoughts on this book are that it’s sad but has a happy ending children will
love it. If you look closely daddy monkey has been eating the fruit, I wonder
if he’s left any for the little monkey?
Read it and
tell me what you think?
