Monkey – Hero of Our Time

In keeping with the run up to the "fun side" of the holiday season, this week’s book review is the Monkey book. 

Seeing that it’s a light (very light), sometimes funny (although not always the laugh aloud kind of funny) but definitely a cute read, I thought it would be fun to review it.

Monkey – Hero of Our Time chronicles, in words and pictures, Monkey’s life and career from his birth (this part was understandably vague), his early years as Wool Boy (bless him), right up to the present. 

At no point are you in danger of losing the plot, since the book makes it easy for you to skim through it, rather quickly, read what grabs you and move on.

Don’t like reading?  Lucky for you, the book doubles as a picture book. There are many, many cute, silly pictures (and some a bit weird) of Monkey, detailing every stage of his life, career and his role as adviser (who knew?) to celebrities like Katie Price, J.K. Rowling and Bono.   

In recent years, Monkey has successfully played the role of Monkey (PG Tips commercials) slurping and ah-hing his way into Britain's heart; so I guess publishing the Monkey book was the logical next step....

and yes, I do have my very own Monkey doll...
