What happens when a cheerful monkey with a kind heart meets an alligator with a secret plan?
In this vibrant retelling of a classic folktale from around the world, The Monkey And The Alligator follows the story of Mimo, a playful monkey who spends his days swinging through the trees and sharing sweet apples with his new friend, Kori the alligator. At first, their friendship blossoms by the riverside, but over time, Kori's curiosity turns into envy... and envy into something much more dangerous.
Told with warmth, suspense, and a clever twist, this tale teaches timeless lessons for young readers:
Stay calm, be wise, and trust your instincts.
Think for yourself, even when things get scary.
Not everyone who seems nice is truly kind.
Real happiness comes from within. It can't be taken or stolen.
