Bad Monkey Business by Michael Hale ($15.95)
It s a rainy, rainy day and Mrs. J.C. McGoody has just finished cleaning her house. She is about to have a cup of tea when she hears a faint knock on her door. When she opens the door, she finds a wet little monkey sitting on her doorstep. And he means business… Bad Monkey Business. Will Mrs. McGoody be able to stop this Bad Monkey from ruining her clean house or is there something else going on that she does not understand? This illustrated story, told in rhyme, is a humorous tale about an unsuspecting woman and monkey on a mission. A reminder as to why it is important to get all of the facts before you rush to judgment.
The back has an intriguing illustration of what we believe is Mrs. McGoody and a leashed lion.
The inside flap of the book jacket tells us more about the story. There’s a monkey pulling a rope that we believe is the one that’s tied on the lion!
The story came in nice rhymes that the kids find enjoyable to recite out loud!
The illustrations are phenomenal! The illustrations may not be vibrantly colored, but them being vintage-like is actually more appealing. The illustrator definitely did a great job of telling the story more effectively through the pictures.
The books this month are both fantastic! We really love the first book, as it encourages the kids to just spread love and positivity. The monkey’s story gave us a fun ride as well. The two had different illustration styles but each had a unique and special appeal. Overall, my kids love everything in this box, and we’re looking forward to more beautiful titles this box brings at our door!
