In this delightful tale, a little monkey has lost his mom in the jungle. With the help of a well-meaning but somewhat clueless butterfly, the monkey searches for his mother, describing her to the butterfly, who leads him to meet various animals that look nothing like his mom. Eventually, the monkey finds his dad, who takes him back to his mom for a well-deserved hug. 'Monkey Puzzle' is a funny and heartwarming story, ideal for 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.
