5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant read for toddlers and preschoolers, 24 Oct 2004
By joc66 (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Monkey Puzzle (Paperback)
We've got all Julia Donaldson's brilliant books in our house, and this one is one of our favourites. The story is simple enough - a young monkey has lost his Mum, and a helpful butterfly tries to reunite them. However, it isn't as straightforward as it seems, and it takes quite a while before the butterfly finds the right parent. There are quite a few children's books about a baby trying to find their Mum or Dad, but this is the best one I've seen. It is clever, funny and great to read aloud with a great rhyming style throughout. The illustrations are really bright and enhance the story very well. We almost know this book off by heart we've read it that many times. Brilliant!

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it !, 16 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Monkey Puzzle (Paperback)
Having read 'The Gruffalo' and loved it, we were then very pleased to discover this one which my children (ages 2-and-a-half and 5) adore just as much. (I think my eldest child rather likes being able to get away with calling Mum 'big and hairy' or 'slimy' etc!!!). A really enjoyable book and a favourite already.
