Monkey

Monkey

by Gerald McDermott

Monkey wants some mangoes but a hungry crocodile has other plans for him!    As Monkey tries to find ways to reach an island full of mango trees, he must also outsmart the hungry crocodile.    Will Monkey get his mangoes or will he fall into Crocodile’s trap? 

This is a fun trickster tale with great illustrations!   Gerald McDermott uses bright collage-style pictures to illustrate this amusing tale of Monkey and Crocodile as each character battles to outwit the other.   This trickster tale from India will be a great addition to my folklore units.
