Monkey Puzzle

by Julia Donaldson

Ages 3–5 Reading age 5 Picture book Set in outdoors and wild places gentlerhyming

A butterfly helps a lost monkey find his mother, and keeps producing entirely the wrong animal because she has not understood how families work.

A story about animals and families, gentle and rhyming in tone. We would put it with children of 3–5, and at a reading age of about 5 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.

Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
