Monkey Tales

Monkey Tales is a six chapter illustrated book for beginning readers.

Its related individual stories about losing teeth, digging tunnels, observing the work habits of ants, and swinging on vines are all high interest subjects for the children in its target audience.

For example, in the first chapter Mee-key is bored and sad. Mama-mo is having a busy day, and his older brother is allowed to go everywhere and do anything. Why does it take so long for a small monkey to grow bigger? he wonders.

In the final chapter, however, when the older brother finds that he no longer fits on their mother's lap during a thunderstorm, the younger monkey concludes that being little sometimes has advantages after all.
