Description
Monkey’s schemes have already made life in the Woods chaotic, but the arrival of humans adds a stranger challenge than the animals expected. Inventive machines and misunderstandings turn the new encounters into another series of comic disasters. Jamie Smart’s bright panels and eccentric characters make the adventure energetic and approachable, inviting readers to enjoy the gap between what the animals think is happening and what the pictures reveal.
Age suitability and learning: Primary (6-8), Older children (9-12). Comic panels make the action approachable for primary readers and reward older children who enjoy visual humour. Reading words alongside pictures supports sequencing, inference and understanding of dialogue; the characters’ choices invite discussion about friendship, kindness and working together.
Available at QT Toys in Battersea.
