A funny and subversive story with a subtle moral about being kind to others is based around a wonderfully lively and appealing character in the form of a monkey who is constantly playing jokes on his friends. Delightful quirky artwork will have wide appeal to both boys and girls.
Cheeky Monkey wakes up in a particularly cheeky mood one day and swings off through the trees. He plays on Leopard Cub's back with a piece of chalk, and even ties Baby Elephant's trunk into a bow. His mum has him right some wrongs. As he sets to work rubbing off chalk, he just can't resist one more prank but it's his mum who has the last laugh.
