Little Monkey Lost

Reach for this book when your child is starting to test their independence and feeling the pull of the 'big world' beyond your backyard. It is an ideal choice for the transition from the safety of home to the excitement and slight trepidation of new environments, like starting a new school or exploring a park. The story follows a young monkey who wanders too far into the jungle and meets a variety of exotic primates. While he enjoys learning their unique skills, the underlying theme addresses the common childhood anxiety of being lost and the relief of finding one's way back. It perfectly balances the thrill of adventure with the comfort of family, making it a soothing read for children aged 3 to 7 who are navigating their own small steps toward autonomy. Parents will appreciate how it introduces biological diversity while reinforcing that home is always there waiting.
