“But that is the sort of thing you have to expect if you have three little monkeys.”

Some people have pet dogs, others pet cats but Hilda Snibbs has three monkeys!  Three Little Monkeys by Quentin Blake and Emma Chichester Clarke is a heartwarming tale for anyone who has loved there own little monkeys!

The collaboration between  Quentin Blake and Emma Chichester Clarke creates a colourful, humourous and timeless picture book which will make you laugh, cry and possibly feel a little anxious!

The Three Little Monkey’s teaches us about patience, love and the things that we do for those we care about.  It also teaches us to perhaps look at situations from different perspectives before we make a judgement.

Collage and pencil form the eye catching illustrations and give more meaning to those big round monkey eyes, despairing Hilda and many marvellous monkey antics!

This is a wonderful read for children of any ages – and especially meaningful to parents through those trying times!
