One title in a series of English-language picture books introducing young children to animals, this one given over entirely to the monkey.
The approach across the series is the same from book to book: a single animal per volume, its distinguishing features set out simply and directly, with colour illustrations chosen to show those features rather than to decorate the page. The writing is pitched at children meeting the subject for the first time, so the aim is basic knowledge — what the animal is, what marks it out — rather than detail a young reader would have to work at.
The author is W. Maria, and the book is published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a Sri Lankan house with a long presence in educational and children's publishing.
It suits parents and teachers putting together early reading material for children, particularly those looking for straightforward English texts on animals with pictures to match. Readers collecting the series will find this volume follows the same pattern as the others, each one taking a different animal.
