About this title

Review:

Monkey and Elephant are both alone so they decide to be friends. Monkey has lots of experience of friendship, but Elephant has none. Monkey soon takes charge and has Elephant doing all the things he, Monkey, likes doing best. Poor Elephant doesn't enjoy it nearly as much and eventually goes back to being alone. Can Monkey work out where he has gone wrong so they can be friends again? Marjorie Newman's strong, simple text, brought to life by Peter Bowman's humorous illustrations, confronts and explores one of the key issues of early childhood in a warm and reassuring way. Ideal for young children taking their first steps into the tricky area of friendship. --Philippa Reece
