Monkey Puzzle: A funny rhyming story about jungle animals from the creators of The Gruffalo

Lovely book. Great quality.

My baby loves it! beautiful illustrations

Very good book for kids. My child loves it.

My 2 year old loves it but I wish it had more pages. It has just 3-4 pages. The book is over before you start it.

My one year old is in love with this book. Must buy!

Julia Donaldson and Axel Sheffler are a popular duo when it comes to children's books. Their books have certain trademarks that make them unique. Their most popular work is The Gruffalo. This is one of their loved and well received works as well. The book starts with a little monkey who seems to have lost his mum. He embarks on a cute journey with a butterfly and they both are looking for his mum. The butterfly , on her part shows the lil monkey all kinds of creatures but they aren't his mum. The book ends on a sweet note with the little monkey finally reuniting with his mum after funny confusions. The book is a must have as it has rich vibrant illustrations and the text is in a rhyme format. I sing this book rather than read it to my kid. Final verdict: If you have been planning to buy this one stop planning and buy! If you just accidently discovered this book while browsing, your cart should check this out ;)

I am always in search of good books to introduce to my 13 month old. I've got her flap books and another board book but none of them were really stories. I found this one and took a chance, knowing that the English would be too much for her, but buying it more for the illustrations. I read it to her for the first time today and she had such a blast pointing out the butterfly on each page or the monkey. She also seemed to be really concerned about where the mumma monkey went? Buy it - its definitely a story that warms the heart, and pictures that are a treat for the eyes (young and old!)

Excellent book for young toddlers. Lucid read and beautifully illustrated.

Absolutes Lieblingsbuch bei uns zuhause! „Monkey Puzzle“ hat sich heimlich in unsere Abendroutine geschlichen und ist jetzt nicht mehr wegzudenken 😄 Meine 5-jährige Tochter, die zweisprachig aufwächst, liebt die Geschichte total – vor allem das lustige Durcheinander mit den Tieren sorgt jedes Mal für Gelächter. Und ganz nebenbei ist es perfekt, um spielerisch beide Sprachen zu fördern. Sie springt begeistert zwischen den Sprachen hin und her und verbessert mich sogar manchmal (was ich natürlich völlig geplant habe… 😉). Die Reime sind eingängig, die Illustrationen wunderschön und die Story einfach herrlich charmant. Selbst nach dem gefühlt 100. Vorlesen macht es noch Spaß – und das will wirklich was heißen! Fazit: Ein Buch, das nicht nur Kinder begeistert, sondern auch Eltern bei Laune hält. Klare Kaufempfehlung – auch für alle kleinen Sprachakrobaten! 🐒📚

Todos en familia aprendemos , vemos los dibujos y la pasamos bien.

Es un libro perfectamente válido para niños a partir de 3 o 4 años. La historia, muy tierna: un monito pierde a su mamá y la va buscando por la selva. Durante la búsqueda se va encontrando animales, que aunque se parecen en alguna característica a su madre no es su mamá monita! El libro en sí, es entretenido, y se pueden trabajar en inglés varios vocabularios: los animales, las partes del cuerpo, la selva, etc. Lo mejor, enseñar a los peques que tienen que tener cuidado para no perderse ;) En mi caso, lo compré por unos cuatro euros, en el formato de cartón, que es muy robusto y duradero para niños pequeños. Volvería a comprarlo, las ilustraciones y diálogos, como siempre pasa con Julia Donalson estupendos. Nota 9 sobre 10 Espero que la opinión sea de utilidad :)

Teacher / parent review. This story ticks most of the boxes for me. It is a clever way to introduce a variety of issues to discuss with your child. It can be as basic or as serious as you want it to be. Firstly it’s a great way to start a discussion about what to do if you are ever separated. The butterfly can be a metaphor for explaining to your child the type of person they should seek out for help in that situation. It is also a great way to discuss difference and how you may have a parent that doesn’t look like you, but they are still their parent. This could be as hardcore as adoption or as simple as explaining how a pet needs a parent. Parent perspective. The illustrations are fantastic, the story rhymes and is excellent in the flow of wording. The ending is beautiful with a great reuniting of mum and bub.

My son loves this book. Quality is good.
