Perfectly detailed * Sunday Telegraph * Gravett weaves her magic again * Irish Times * Lots of toddler appeal * Scotsman * A great get-up-and-groove book * Junior * As a little girl and her toy monkey swing through the pages, this playful book invites children to guess what animal they are pretending to be, before revealing the real creatures. Beautifully illustrated and a great interactive read, Monkey and Me is always a hit with young children * Mumsnet Best Books for 2 Year Olds (2nd April 2020) * A brilliant book and an absolute favourite with my son. He loves the repetition and rhythm of the language. The text is very simple, but there are lots of layers - great for encouraging toddlers to recognise animals and spot clues in the pictures. I love it too! -- Mumsnet
