The Monkey Puzzle is a very funny and clever story by Julia Donaldson and Alex Scheffler.
This story tells a tale of a monkey who is trying to find his mum. Then a helpful butterfly comes
to his rescue.
This story introduces children to various animals in the jungle. Children tend to enjoy this book
due to its poetic nature, its jungle theme, the animals and also because of its silliness. The
butterfly doesn’t seem to know that the monkey’s mother looks like a monkey. It is a very good
book if kids want a laugh.
The little monkey, desperate to find his mother, describes how his mother looks to the butterfly.
The butterfly, unaware of the fact that the monkey’s mother looks just like him, tries to match the
monkey’s mother to different animals.
The book is beautifully illustrated with bright and bold colors, taking children on an immersive
journey to the jungle.
Through this book, children will come to know about various animals and where they live. It will
also introduce them to a butterfly’s life cycle.
Julia Donaldson and Alex Scheffler has created a very beautiful story unfolding in the jungle with
a very brilliant plot.
