Customer Reviews

Adorable

I bought this book for my almost 3 year old and she really enjoys it. The story is really cute, as are the illustrations. The map and stickers are a huge added bonus for my daughter. I'm so glad we bought this book because we travel a lot so it is fitting.

Adorable and Educational

My 4 yr old twins adore this tale of two monkey adventurers as they travel around the world to visit major landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge, the Taj Mahal, and the Eiffel Tower, to name a few. They had so much fun learning about the cities and placing the bright stickers on the map. We even played an impromptu game of "find that city" that they were amazingly quick to answer. The book also does a wonderful teaching job as it includes cultural elements such as animals indigenous to the locale (llamas in the Andes) and prevailing costumes (berets, turbans, etc.) all through charmingly graphic illustrations. An excellent choice and a must have in your child's library.

Cute monkeys!

The pictures are so colorful and the monkeys are so cute. I gave this book to friend of mine with young children who absolutely love it. They especially like how there's a map and stickers that come along with the book. Another cool thing about this book is that it's not a large book, but each page can open up more to reveal a larger image of the monkeys at each location. It's beautiful!

So colorful and fun!!!

My niece and nephew love this book. The colors and cute monkeys just jump right out at them. The two scenes that they loved the most were Russia and Antarctica (I think it was because of the ballet dancer and penguins respectively :-) I highly recommend this book with anyone with kids, neices, nephews, godsons, goddaughters, or for friends with kids.
