Monkey wants to play! But Monkey's games are a little too energetic for the other animals. A funny, playful story about learning how to make friends, from the author of the hilarious Pug Hug! Cheeky Monkey is ready to play! But Zebra is happy painting quietly, Giraffe is about to tuck in to lunch, and the meerkats were queueing nicely for the slide before Monkey barged in ahead of them! Maybe Lion will play with Monkey . . . but is it a good idea to wake Lion up during nap time? A sweet and funny tale about making friends and learning to play together, colourfully illustrated throughout and featuring a cast of cute animal characters. A must for fans of Pug Hug!
