MONKEY
FEEL his Lovely Love
surround you, for LOVE
is rare and precious-let
US TREASURE it all
we can

Another of Saturday's finds and another for our almost completed Edward Monkton collection of humorous philosophical musings.

The standout book will always be The Penguin of Death, with its darker side, which is a far cry from this books theme of all things love. It is one of the more silly books and it doesn't reach the heights set by its brethren. 3 stars.

Okay then. Love is all around when you are in love. What is love anyway? Even the pessimist will fall in love once... with another pessimist. Love yourself first is a sound advice. And once in a while, love somebody else. Love can make you miserable. Love is a bitch. Life is short. Be brave and love someone.

Unlike some of Monkton’s other books, this one didn’t really have a plot or a story. This was more random silly musings by the author, on love. Example: “you are like a wonderful love chocolate - not one of the rubbish ones that nobody wants to eat but a really nice one that always goes first!”

I have a few others of Edward Monkton’s cute books like this, and I like them better. I know each set of sayings/pictures isn’t really related, but it would have been nice if they were. Also, the biscuit and the potato are odd...

Reminds me of Jon so much. Just pure joy, I can't wait to read more of his little blips.
