This is a cute little read from Usborne books. At first I thought it was a book to teach your child to feed themselves using a cheeky little monkey. Spoiler: it's not that at all. It's more about the things that can go wrong when feeding a cheeky little monkey (think of "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"). The illustrations are adorable and it's a cute book for you to read to your child. I'm giving it just 4 stars because the target audience is infants not preschoolers and it's more like a preschool type of book.
It is meant for kids but I only found out about it by reading it to my little sister. It make me and my little sister laugh together books like this will make good memories with your family.
My daughter got this book as a present and she is already obsessed with cheeky monkey! It is a cute story about how to feed and then clean up after a silly monkey. The rhythm of the story flows and it has fun sound effects to act out. I don't mind the fact that she's constantly asking me to read it to her.
Dört kitaplık harika bir seri. Afacan maymunla oğlumuz 6 aylıkken tanıştı, ve onun yemek yiyişini örnek gösterdiğimizden en sevdiği kitaplardan biri oldu. Dört kitabın dördünü de tavsiye ederim.
