«Monkey Puzzle» is the children's picture book by Julia Donaldson, illustrated by Axel Scheffler, published by Macmillan Children's Books in hardcover (32 pages).
A little monkey gets lost in the jungle and a butterfly tries to help him find his mother. Because she takes the monkey's descriptions very literally, she leads him to the wrong animals; the rhyming text turns the search into a guessing game and a series of absurd encounters.
Publication date: August 11, 2000. Recommended reading age: 3 to 7 years.
From the same creative team as The Gruffalo, suitable for sharing English reading with young children.
Dame Julia Catherine Donaldson is a British writer and playwright, and the 2011–2013 Children's Laureate. She is best known for her popular rhyming stories for children, especially those illustrated by Axel Scheffler, which include The Gruffalo, Room on the Broom, Stick Man, and Superworm. She originally wrote songs for children's television but has concentrated on writing books since the words of one of her songs, "A Squash and a Squeeze", were made into a children's book in 1993. Of her 184 published works, 64 are widely available in bookshops. The remaining 120 are intended for school use and include her Songbirds phonic reading scheme, which is part of the Oxford University Press's Oxford Reading Tree. In January 2025, Donaldson became Britain's best-selling author, surpassing J.K. Rowling by some 600,000 sales.
