Three Little Monkeys by Quentin Blake - ADVISABLE


Blake, Quentin Three Little Monkeys Illustrated by Emma Chichester Clark PICTURE BOOK Harper, 2016. $19. Content: G.  

Hilda Snibbs has three pet monkeys who like to cause mischief while she is away.  No matter how many times Hilda tells them to be good, they cause a mess.  One day when Hilda returns home she can’t find her monkeys anywhere and she is distraught.  When Hilda finally finds them in the closet, she is so relieved that when she climbs into bed that night, she decides that she doesn’t care that they hid all the silverware in her sheets.  What does she expect-they are monkeys.  

This book is adorable and I enjoyed the illustrations.  The naughty monkeys made me and my son laugh.  The whole book I kept thinking- of course they are making a mess what does she expect, they are monkeys, so it’s funny when Hilda admits as much at the end.
