Monkey Puzzle

Product Information

Axel Scheffler's distinctive illustrations bring the characters and settings of "Monkey Puzzle" to life. This story was accepted by the publisher at the same time as The Gruffalo, and at first they thought they might find a different illustrator for it. Julia Donaldson has written some of the world's best-loved children's books, including modern classics The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child, illustrated by Axel Scheffler, which together have sold over 25 million copies worldwide and have been translated into over one hundred languages.

As ever, Julia Donaldson delivers a pacy story which is entertaining and informative with a great twist at the end.

This is a lovely rhyming story which our daughter has already memorised the 'no, no, no butterfly line from!

I can’t imagine that anyone other than Axel could have given such character and humour to the animals which the butterfly mistakes for the monkey’s mum.

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. It was the first time I could do the skies separately from the foreground - they were put together on a computer by the publisher.
