Synopsis

Monkey's taking a trip around the world and everywhere she goes she introduces herself in the native language of the country she's visiting. Kids can join her and learn to say "my name is" in seven different languages: French, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Russian and Hindi. Each "my name is" phrase is translated and has a pronunciation guide. Full-colour illustrations feature elements about each country's culture and the final spread offers an illustrated map of the protagonist's travels.
