Review: Story and Quality - Lovely book. Great quality. Review: Absolutely amazing! - 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.
