(Dial, March 27, 2008)
When little monkey cant find his mother, butterfly offers to help in the search. Little monkey says that his mother is big, so butterfly leads him to . . . an elephant. No, thats not right! Little monkey says his mom is furry, so butterfly leads him to . . . a bat. Thats not right either. From then on, little monkey and butterfly meet many jungle animals, but they dont find Mom until little monkey comes up with just the right description. With Julia Donaldsons effortless rhyme and Axel Schefflers vibrant illustrations, this circular tale combines funny miscommunication with a little bit of science for a charming feel-good adventure.
