About this deal

I think that many little kids can relate to having a favorite stuffed animal and imagining themselves going on adventures with it. I love the sketchy vibe of the illustrations paired with the softness of watercolor or almost chalk like colors. In two cases, the text seems to hop like the kangaroos and swing like the monkeys with whom they share the pages.

My youngest child has always struggled to sit through a book (quite opposite to my eldest) but this book has captivated her.

My favorite part of the story is when the girl and her monkey discover the kangaroo and she puts Monkey in her shirt as if she had a pouch, too.

I think that this really illustrates how much children actually know about things we wouldnt expect them to know about. Also in the end when the little girl falls asleep I would have preferred the last frame be her laying down for nap time. Summary from SPL: A little girl and her toy monkey love imitating different animals, everything from jumping like kangaroos to waddling like penguins.

The illustrations depict the little girl dressed in a bright red and white outfit dragging along her stuffed monkey as they go to see all of the different animals.
