The Monkey with a Bright Blue Bottom

Product Information

Wishing that more animals in the jungle could be vibrant in color and appearance, a mischievous monkey grabs his paints and descends on his sleeping friends, covering their coats with brilliant shades, stripes and dots.

The monkey finds a paint box and brush and when all the animals are sleeping he paints them with stripes on the zebra, spots on the leopard and squares on the giraffe! It's a fun story, but to be on the safe side I'd keep it as a display book for storytime, not as one to read alound (though it would be good for that for a family or group who are alright with the butt talk).He painted the leopard bright yellow to start with, but when the sleepy big cat gave a growl, the monkey got a fright, and jumped, splashing big dollops of black paint from the paint box onto the animal! A few years ago I was main illustrator for Longman's 'Story Street' reading scheme, illustrating 79 titles and writing 5.

Nevertheless, the lesula is a fascinating new monkey species that will continue generating interest and excitement among scientists and laypeople. The animals come up with their own playful scheme which leaves the monkey with his own bright colors.
