This book is a book called Monkey and Me and it’s based on my friend’s daughter who was a really wiggly sort of kid and didn’t like to sit still for reading books. So I made her a book which she could join in with and it’s about this little girl and she’s off out on a day out and she’s having trouble with her tights because I remember from my little girl that little girls have trouble putting their tights on. Big girls sometimes, too.
It’s called Monkey and Me and it starts off… Monkey and me, monkey and me, monkey and me, we went to see, we went to see some… and the girl is doing the action of an animal that she’s going to see. And she went to see some penguins! Monkey and me, monkey and me, monkey and me, we went to see, we went to see some… and she’s hopping across the page, …kangaroos!
Monkey and me, monkey and me, monkey and me, we went to see, we went to see some bats! Monkey and me, monkey and me, monkey and me, we went to see, we went to see some…elephants! And then she’s swinging across the top and all the way through the little toy monkey’s been a little bit miserable because maybe he hasn’t been going to see the right animals or maybe it’s because he’s being dragged upside down a lot.
But on this one he’s starting to look happy and it’s because Monkey and me, monkey and me, monkey and me, we went to see, we went to see some…monkeys! And then by the end of the day, she’s feeling very tired, so it’s Monkey and me, monkey and me, monkey and me, we went zzz… so she’s gone to sleep. And then you can see at the end all the animals also going off home for their tea and to sleep. And that’s the end.
