Monkeypig

by Huw Aaron

A hilarious tale of identity and belonging that will have fans of Adam Rubin and Aaron Reynolds swinging from the trees with delight!

She's a monkey! No, she's a pig! She's . . . Monkeypig?

Molly happily resides in the jungle alongside all the other monkeys, living her best monkey life among the treetops. There's just one problem. 

She's actually a pig.

And head monkey Norman knows it. To prove his instincts right, he puts Molly and the rest of her forest family through a series of tests designed to weed out any non-monkey monkeys. Molly gamely jumps . . . er, flops . . . through all of Norman's hoops, doing her piggy best to be the ultimate primate. At the end of this ropes course, they discover a surprise reveal about who the real monkey is after all.

I think this is the first review of a kids book I have written, however, we bought this at 4pm today and our toddler has already requested we read it three times. We were already big fans of 'Sleep tight, disgusting blob' and this was just as good in my opinion.

Not quite as wonderful as Sleep Tight Disgusting Blob, but it clearly proves Aaron as a talent whose great love is to subvert and every genre he plays with. Best moment, apart from the denouement, is the bit with the gnus which as a child I’d have absolutely adored
