Monkey and Elephant by Carole Lexa Schaefer -ADVISABLE


Schaefer, Carole Lexa and illustrated by Bernstein, Galia Monkey and Elephant 48 pgs. Candlewick, 2012. $11.24  (Rating: G)
Monkey and Elephant have very different opinions but help each other and are best friends. When the wildcats pose a threat –the two friends stick together.
This was a simple and adorable story about two friends, who don’t have to always agree, but always enjoy each other’s company and stand up for each other. There is also a ton of really cute words –chewy words! Students will love this bright and current story. (I tend to think these Early Reader books look like they were published 30 years ago –but this one is positively fresh!)
