When little monkey can't find his mother, butterfly offers to help in the search. Little monkey says that his mother is big, so butterfly leads him to . . . an elephant. No, that's not right! Little monkey says his mom is furry, so butterfly leads him to . . . a bat. That's not right either. From then on, little monkey and butterfly meet many jungle animals, but they don't find Mom until little monkey comes up with just the right description. With Julia Donaldson's effortless rhyme and Axel Scheffler's vibrant illustrations, this circular tale combines funny miscommunication with a little bit of science for a charming feel-good adventure. Review: Different title, same book - In the UK this book is popular by the author Julia Donaldson. In America, it is named Monkey Puzzle. Which ever title you prefer, it is a cute story with wonderful pictures. Review: Great read for a 4 year old! - My grandson & I got hooked on this author & illustrator from Room on the Broom. Awesome rhythm in the read and the illustrations are very detailed. Noticing the same details across multiple books, which helps me explain an author and artists style.

Fun and authentic
My 6 year old absolutely loves this book! It has a great and fun story with a happy ending. Also. The drawings are so interactive and alive that my son absolutely adores them! He already has two more books from this great author: Julian Donaldson. Now he wansts all the other books from her. I highly recommend this book!

Not a board book
I was expecting this to be a board book as it said hardcover. However, the paper is thin and glossy like a magazine, and the size is also bigger than I would like. Will be returning this and looking for a board book instead. The story itself is lovely though.

Un pò lunga come storia da leggere
Un pò lunga come storia da leggere in inglese ma è davvero carina: una scimmietta perde la mamma e viene aiutata da una farfalla. Solo che quest'ultima sbaglia puntualmente a indicargli la mamma, infine viene spiegato il motivo di questo errore e la farfalla trova sì un'altra scimmietta ma è il padre (quindi sbaglia ancora) e sarà lui a portarlo dalla mamma (credo mia figlia mi faccia leggere la favola solo per arrivare alla scena finale dove c'è la scimmietta abbraccia la mamma).

Muy grande
Es grande y muy vistoso. La historia es muy bonita, a los niños les encanta. La rima es buena y podeis verla cantada a guitarra en youtube. Es una lástima que no hayan sacado este libro en español. (La edición en español es solo del libro-puzzle que tiene menos páginas, el texto está íntegro, pero eso redunda en saturar las páginas de texto, agolpar los dibujos y eliminar algunos.)
