Monkey Trouble

Originally published in Switzerland, this book is proof that North-South Books CAN publish some books worth reading! Little Monkey doesn't listen. (I bet that sounds familiar to parents and teachers.) He's told NOT to climb the big tree in a storm, but of course, he doesn't listen. He finds himself blown out of the tree, but luckily he lands on a cloud and is delivered to some elephants who think he's their daughter and dress him in a cute pink dress. The book tells how Little Monkey tries to get home. "Oh, if only he had listened" is the repetitive text in the book. Of course, Little Monkey makes it home. But did he learn from his mistake? Of course not! The pictures are sophisticated and a nice change from illustrations often seen in children's books.
