Cheeky Monkey has his own idea of how to play with his friends – and it isn’t one that they appreciate. He uses zebra’s tail to paint with, knocks down ostrich’s carefully built brick tower, wakes up sleeping lion (not a good idea!) and jumps the queue for the slide. For children learning how to share and to play together, this brightly illustrated book offers a useful lesson. Monkey realises he has been selfish and says sorry, after which all is well. It’s also just a fun book to enjoy!
