A hilarious story about a girl who is incredibly wild, she’s driving her parents crazy and they just want a nap. Her Granny gives them a break and takes her to the zoo, where she meets all the wild animals and swaps places with a monkey.
This was so so funny, the illustrations were amazing and seeing all the things that Violet was doing oh my goodness she was hilarious. I loved that she was literally no different to a monkey and all her actions followed what a monkey was doing. I also found it so funny when nobody not her Gran, not either of her parents noticed they had a monkey.
This is a great fun book for young ones to read it’s very entertaining with both the story and the illustrations. There so much going on within each page and it’s also has a bit of a lesson thrown in about cleanliness and when it’s okay to wildly play and go crazy.
